Answer:
Work done on an object is equal to
FDcos(angle).
So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.
However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.
But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?
Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.

Explanation:
Density = Mass / Volume = 850 / 40*10*5 = 0.425 g /cm^3
Answer:
Generally, magnets are attracted to objects that are made of the metals iron, nickel, or cobalt. These materials are called ferromagnetic materials. ... When all or most of the domains are aligned in the same direction, the whole object becomes magnetized in that direction and becomes a magnet.
Explanation:
Answer:
At the end points of motion (either side) the velocity must be zero because the velocity is changing from - to + (it can't turn around around without passing thru zero,
The velocity will then increase to the midpoint of the motion.
m g h = 1/2 m v^2 where h is the vertical distance thru which the pendulum travels
