The three spheres in Figure with masses mA = 80 g, mB = 10 g, and mC
Question:
The three spheres in Figure with masses mA = 80 g, mB = 10 g, and mC = 20 g, have their centers on a common line, with L = 12 cm and d = 4.0 cm. You move sphere B along the line until its center-to-center separation from C is d = 4.0 cm. How much work is done on sphere B?
(a) By you and
(b) By the net gravitational force on B due to spheres A andC?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
