jewels Well before we get started it's important to recognize
- 00:27
that we're dealing in physics math here not in real
- 00:29
world situations In math terms If we carry a piano
- 00:32
up two flights of stairs and then back down again
- 00:35
no work has been done on the piano After all
- 00:37
it hasn't had any net movement and the force has
- 00:40
been applied to it has been negated We'll work mathematically
- 00:45
speaking equals force times Displacement and displacement which is represented
- 00:50
by x means a total change in position of an
- 00:54
object Well in our question we think in terms of
- 00:57
direction the boxes moved four meters to the west Five
- 01:01
meters to the north four meters to the east and
- 01:05
another five meters north The four meters east and west
- 01:09
Cancel each other out there's No displacement there because in
- 01:12
terms of lateral movement we end up where we started
- 01:16
so our total displacement is ten meters Now to determine
- 01:20
the force use we use our trusty equation force equals
- 01:23
mass times acceleration because the box is being moved up
- 01:27
The acceleration comes from gravity which is about ten meters
- 01:30
per second squared and since we know the mass of
- 01:33
the boxes two kilograms we can calculate the force Let's
- 01:37
go ahead and plug our numbers into the work equation
- 01:40
Here Work equals twenty newton's times ten meters for a
- 01:43
total of two hundred jewels So option b is the
- 01:46
correct answer Remember no matter how hard we work while
- 01:49
studying in physics terms There's No work being done if 00:01:52.85 --> [endTime] we just stay at our desk
