Key Equations - Midterm 2 Flashcards
True or False: the normal force does no work when it is perpendicular to the displacement
True: over short time intervals the normal force does no work when it is perpendicular to displacement (FN in y direction and displacement in x direction)
How do you resolve work up a ramp into x and y components?
How do you find the angle or height of the incline?
FBD for moving a box up an incline
True or false: The work done is the same regardless of the length of the ramp (i.e. the work required to move a crate up to a 2m ledge is the same for a 10m ramp as it is for a 20 m ramp)
True: distance will cancel out so the work is the same just performed over a greater distance.
What is the work done by the ground and friction?
