Calculating work on inclined plane?
Formula of work is always { Work= Force x Distance} so you find the force applied and the distance moved then multiply
What is ideal mehcanical advantage of a ramp if its length is 4.0m and itsd higher end is 0.5m above its lower end?
The mechanical advantage is equal to (distance of force applied)/(distance moved). The length of the ramp (I assume that means hypotenuse) is 4.0m, which is the distance over which the force is applied. The distance it is actually moved is the 0.5m up that it is being lifted. So MA = 4.0 / 0.5 = 8.
How much work would you do if you applied a 200 Newtons to an object and moved it 0 meters?
If an object does not move, no work is performed. Work is performed by a force acting through a distance.
How can you determine if an object has moved?
Judge by the distance it has moved in relation to another object.
What work would be done moving an item with a mass of 6.522 Kg a distance of 1.812 m?
It can't be calculated with the information given.Work is defined as (force) multiplied by (distance).The mass can be moved fast, by pushing it hard, or slowly through the same distance,by pushing it with less force. The work is different in each case, since it depends on theforce and the distance.Notice that the work doesn't depend on the mass, only on the force used to move it.
