    Force Pull Work
AI Thread Summary
To pull a wagon requires a force of 300 N, resulting in 2400 kJ of work when pulled 8 km. If the wagon is pulled for 40 minutes, the power output is calculated as 1 kW. When considering a scenario where the power is 5 kW over the same time period, the total work done amounts to 12000 kJ. This allows for the wagon to be pulled a distance of 120 kilometers under those conditions. Clarity in questions is essential for accurate calculations and responses.

To pull a wagon we need a force of 300 N. How much work is done if we pull the wagon 8 km?? And how much is the effect if the wagon is being pulled for 40 min.?? And if we pull the wagon for 40 min. and the effect is 5kw, how far can we pull the wagon?

"To pull a wagon we need a force of 300 N. How much work is done if we pull the wagon 8 km??"
Work done = 300N*8000meters = 2400KJ.

"And how much is the effect if the wagon is being pulled for 40 min.?? "
What is the effect?Power?
Power = work/time = 2400KJ/(40*60 seconds) = 1KW.
"And if we pull the wagon for 40 min. and the effect is 5kw, how far can we pull the wagon?"
Again, what do you mean by effect? Power?
If you want distance,
Power = work/time
5KW = work/(40*60sec)
work = 12000KJ.
Distance = work/force
= 12000KJ/300N = 120 Kilometers.
I tried my level best to understand your question. Be clear in what ever you want to ask.

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
