• Physics - What the fuck is work force?

A student lifts a 1.5 kg textbook a distance of 2.5 m vertically. How much work does she do? W=Fd How do I use the mass to find force?
Work Force is how much force you put in work :science:
You're finding force times distance, which is work. Hint, force is m*g.
Hint: f=ma

work = force x distance work = joules force = newtons distance = meters power = work / time power = joules (as a rate) work = joules time = second f = ma force = newtons mass = kilograms acceleration = m/s2 or m/s/s
I thought Joules was a unit of temperature?

Also, wow I missed one word whilst typing in a haste manner to get back to a game more important than this thread, are you gonna make a joke about it?

I wanna go to Knott's again...:unsmith: Good times.
W = 1.5 d = 2.5 W = fd. f = W/d f = 1.5 / 2.5 f = 0.6 It depends what level you're at. If all the information you got was W = df this should suffice.

you need to do mg to find F Thats mass x g (g is 9.81...) so w=1.5x9.81 x 2.5
Urgh, even simple Physics equations fuck me up.

Looks like the [i]work done[/i] by the OP is 0. :smug:
