Im still a little confused.
How would you answer this then:
how much work is required to move an apple with a mass of 102g over a vertical distance of 1m?
Is the work dependant on how much force u apply or will the work done to move the apple always be constant?
I keep thinking that...
I agree, but here's an example of the same object, the apple starting at rest.
initial velocity = 0m/s
force of gravity balanced by force of hand against apple. In this case there is no acceleration and therefore net force acting on the apple is zero.
If any additional upward force were to...
Hi everyone.
Im studying basic physics for my anaesthesia primary exams and came across the subject of work. I am however finding some difficulty grasping the concept of work done against gravity. The example given in my literature for work done against gravity is the following:
