If a person pushes a wall but fails to displace it, then he does no work. Work is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force. Since there is no displacement, no work is ...

The work done to hold a weight of 20 kg at a height of 1 m above the ground is zero Joules. When an object is held stationary, there is no displacement, so no work is done against gravity.
An astronaut can jump higher on the lunar surface than on the Earth’s surface because the force of gravity on the lunar surface is very less as compared to the Earth’s surface. This weaker gravity allows the astronaut to exert ...
Body weight varies with location on Earth’s surface due to differences in gravitational acceleration. It is maximum at the poles due to being closer to the Earth’s center, and minimum at the equator due to the centrifugal force caused by ...
As we move from the equator towards the poles, the value of g decreases. This is because the centrifugal force due to Earth’s rotation is greatest at the equator, causing a slight outward push that counteracts some of the gravitational ...
