    Power Work
AI Thread Summary
Work is calculated using the formula W = Fd, where F is the force applied and d is the distance moved. For a 1 kg object lifted 1.5 meters, the force is equal to the weight, F = mg, which equals 9.81 N. Thus, the work done is W = 9.81 N * 1.5 m, resulting in approximately 14.7 joules. Power is then calculated using P = W/t, leading to a power output of about 5.88 watts when the lift occurs over 2.5 seconds. The calculations confirm the relationship between work, power, and lifting an object.

If I lift an objct that weighs 1kg a distance of 1.5 meters in 2.5 seconds, what is my work and power done?

Can you show me how you did it?

I don't know how
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Start off with the definition of Work done. How do you calculate it?
 
w=fd

i got 14.7 for work

and

5.88 for power
 
So you do know how. ;)
 
F=mg=1*9.81= #

W=Fd=#*1.5= ____ J

P=W/t and your answers seem to be correct so.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
