How do you calculate work done?

• Work done (W) is calculated using the formula W = Fd, where F is the force applied and d is the distance moved in the direction of the force.

• Work done is the product of mass and velocity.

• Work done is calculated using the formula W = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

• Work done is the integral of force over distance.

What is the effect of increasing the size of dominoes in a chain reaction?

• It has no effect on the chain reaction.

• It allows more energy to build up, resulting in a greater effect at the end of the chain.

• It makes the chain reaction slower and less effective.

• It causes the dominoes to fall in a random pattern.

What is the relationship between force and mass?

• Force is the product of mass and acceleration, as described by Newton's second law: F = ma.

• Force is inversely proportional to mass according to Einstein's theory.

• Force is independent of mass and only depends on velocity.

• Force is the sum of mass and acceleration.

What is mechanical energy?

• Mechanical energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

• Mechanical energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object.

• Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.

• Mechanical energy is the energy that is transferred through heat.

What is energy?

• Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.

• Energy is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.

• Energy is the force that opposes motion.

• Energy is the speed at which an object moves.

If 500 N of force moves a car 4 m, how much work is done?

• 1000 J

• 1500 J

• 2000 J

• 2500 J

What is the significance of a stronger barricade in a soapbox derby?

• A stronger barricade is necessary to stop heavier cars, as they have more momentum and require more force to stop them.

• A stronger barricade is only needed for faster cars, regardless of their weight.

• A stronger barricade is used to enhance the visual appeal of the derby.

• A stronger barricade is important for safety but does not affect the performance of the cars.

How does increasing distance affect the work done if the force remains constant?

• Increasing distance decreases the work done.

• Increasing distance has no effect on the work done.

• Increasing distance increases the work done, as work is the product of force and distance (W = F × d).

• Work done is independent of distance when force is constant.

What happens to energy in a domino effect?

• Potential energy is converted into thermal energy as each domino falls.

• Kinetic energy is lost as each domino falls, causing no transfer of energy.

• Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as each domino falls, transferring energy to the next domino.

• Energy is created from nothing as each domino falls.

What is the formula for calculating the work done by robots?

• W = Fd

• W = F + d

• W = F/d

• W = F^2d
