Work Flashcards
1
Q
What effect will forces with the same size/magnitude have on an object?
A
The forces will have the same exact effect on the object causing nothing to happen.
2
Q
Work must be in (distance)?
A
Meters
3
Q
What does…stand for?
LOA
POA
POT
A
LOA - line of action
POA - point of application
POT- point of transmibillity
4
Q
Formula for work
A
Force x distance = joules
5
Q
What is work measured in?
A
Joules
6
Q
Definition of POA
A
Where force touches the object (point of contact)
7
Q
Definition of LOA
A
The path taken by the force. Two forces can have the same POA but different LOA
8
Q
Definition of POT
A
Forces with the same magnitude/size, direction, and LOA will have the exact same effect on the object
9
Q
What is magnitude?
A
The size of force acting upon a body
