    Work & Gravity: How to Lift a 5 kg Box 1 Meter?

    I am quoting a text from a web sight before my question. "Let's assume we have a 5 kg box on the floor. Let's arbitrarily call its current potential energy zero, just to give us a reference point. If we do work to lift the box one meter off the floor, we need to overcome the force of gravity...

    Work done in lifting an object against gravity

    I posted this Question on yahoo answers in this way and got a very good answer showing that my understanding is correctA book of mass 5kg is lifted from the table to shelf. the body was at rest (initial kinetic energy=0), we applied 50 Newton force on it for just a second to produce an...

    Work done in lifting an object against gravity

    Dear fellows I have three questions related to the topic “Lifting an object against gravity”. If we lift an object of mass 5kg we need to apply a little more force than its weight to lift it and suppose we apply 50 N force (gravity is exerting 49 N forces on it) for just a second that...

    Domain of a quadratic function under square root having no x intercept

    I am trying to find the domain of this function f(x)=sqrt(x^2 - 2x +5). i am supposing that y=x^2 - 2x +5 and y must be greater of equal to 0. in otherwords where the graph is touching or above x axis. to find where the graph is touching x-axis i am trying to find the x intercept and i get...

    Absolute value on both side of equation

    I solved this absolute value equation and I am confuse about the answer given in the book for this question, the answer in the book is x > = 0 or x = -2/3 please tell me how can I get this answer from the following solution. Please tell the method which should be true for all such type of...

    Solving Absolute Value Problem: x ≤ 3

    Suppose we have this absolute value question | x-3 | = 3 – x If we solve this question we break it as X - 3 = 3 – x or -(x - 3) = 3 - x Now if we solve it we come to know that the part on right is true for all real numbers And the part on the left is true for only 3 I also have read that...
