Is this correct?
work= .01 x mass x distance
mass measured in grams
distance measured in meters
Is this right??
No. If you want work W in Joules, that would be
W, J = (force, N)*(distance, m)
= (mass, kg)*(g,m/s^2)*(distance,m)
= 0.001 (mass, g)*9.8 m/s^2*(distance,m)
The numerical factor would be 0.0098, slightly less than 0.01
right, so in other words I would round it . . . . .
Yes, the equation you provided, work = 0.01 x mass x distance, is correct. The equation represents the formula for calculating work, where mass is measured in grams and distance is measured in meters.
To calculate work using this equation, you would multiply the mass by the distance and then multiply that result by 0.01.
For example, if you have a mass of 100 grams and a distance of 10 meters, you would substitute those values into the equation:
work = 0.01 x 100 x 10
work = 1 x 10
work = 10
Therefore, in this example, the work would be equal to 10.
