    ...Work The work done on an object by a constant force is W = Fd = Fcos d where F is the magnitude of the force, d is the object’s displacement, and  is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement . Solving simple problems requires substituting values into this equation. More complex problems, such as those involving friction, often require using Newton’s second law to determine forces. Example: An Eskimo returning from a successful fishing trip pulls a sled loaded with salmon. The total mass of the sled and salmon is 50.0 kg, and the Eskimo exerts a force of 120 N on the sled by pulling on the rope. (a) How much work does he do on the sled if the rope is horizontal to the ground and he pulls the sled 5.00 m? (b) How much work does he do on the sled if  = 30.0° and he pulls the sled the same distance? Suppose that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the loaded 50.0-kg sled and snow is 0.200. (c) The Eskimo again pulls the sled 5.00 m, exerting a force of 120 N at an angle of 0°. Find the work done on the sled by friction, and the network. (d) Repeat the calculation if the applied force is exerted at an angle of 30.0° with the horizontal.

  • Work And Energy Essay

    ...Summary When a force displaces, work is said to be done. The force should be the net force and there should be a net displacement of the object. Work done by force acting on an object in the direction of the force is equal to the product of the magnitude of the force and the displacement covered by the object  in the direction of the force. The work done is measured in joule in the SI system after the scientist James Prescott Joule. Erg is the CGS unit of work.  Conditions for work to be done: A net force should act on an object. The object must be displaced in the direction of the net force.   Work is said to be done when an object is displaced on applying a certain force. W = F × s, Where  W = Work done on an object F = Net force on the object s = Displacement of the object Joule is defined as the work done when the net force of one newton acts on a body and displaces it in the direction of the force by one metre.    Work done could be either positive or negative.   When both the force and the displacement are in the same direction, positive work is done.   When force acts in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement, the work done is negative.

  • Positive Discipline in the Work Place Essay

    ...Abstract Positive discipline is a policy that attempts to handle employee problems in a non-punishment manner. The goal is to retain a productive employee rather than to punish and eliminate a bad employee. Positive discipline programs must be structured and understandable by employees and supervisors and the steps of a positive discipline program should be followed and documented. Positive Discipline in the Work Place Most people spend many hours of their lives at the place where they work. In this workplace we need to be successful to keep our jobs and to be promoted. One of the most important parts of our jobs is to get along with other people at work and to obey the rules of the place where we work. Unfortunately, many people cause discipline problems in their workplace. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to deal with discipline problems. Discipline for employees is important and is one of the most difficult areas of supervision. (Bielous, 2005) Most managers just want all employees to work, get along and follow the rules. But not all employees do this and when they do not, discipline problems result. A supervisor can use positive or negative discipline to deal with employees who have problems. Negative discipline uses punishment for discipline problems. For example, an employee might be suspended or fired for breaking rules. Positive discipline does not use punishment...

Along with attitude, personality, culture, communication, motivation appear to be the most important because it leads to job satisfaction and well work performance. Adeyinka Tella, C.O. Ayeni and S.O. Papoola (2007) claimed that, “One way of stimulating people is to employ effective motivation, which makes workers more satisfied with and committed to their jobs ( Tella, Ayeni & Papoola, 2007). In fact, employees who feel motivated at work are likely to be persistent, creative, inspired and productive also assure high quality of work. In reality, every employee has a different personality and way to get motivated. Management and human resources must use different techniques to motivate each person based on their personal wants and needs. This result in arguing and proving that organization and its member can be greatly influenced by what motivates individuals to work. The presence of a powerful leadership, communication, recognition, can all effect the satisfaction of employees and their performance and can impact the organization. Managers with exceptional skills that is practiced to improve performance in the organization seems to set a perfect example for others by performing...
