Which factor is NOT considered when calculating the work done on a system by an agent exerting a constant force?
Which factor is NOT considered when calculating the work done on a system by an agent exerting a constant force?
- Angle between the force and the displacement vectors
- Magnitude of the displacement
- Mass of the system (correct)
- Magnitude of the force
When does a force do no work on an object?
When does a force do no work on an object?
- When the force is perpendicular to the displacement of its point of application (correct)
- When the force is applied to a rigid object
- When the force is the only force acting on the object
- When the force is applied in the same direction as the displacement
For a deformable system, what is true about the displacement associated with the forces applied?
For a deformable system, what is true about the displacement associated with the forces applied?
- It is always perpendicular to the force applied
- It is generally not the same as the displacement of the object (correct)
- It is directly proportional to the magnitude of the force applied
- It is always equal to the displacement of the object
