How much work does it take to lift 345 boxes to a height of 6.00 m of each box has a mass of 7.89 kg

1 answer:

3 0

Given the value of the mass of each boxes, the work done in lifting the boxes to the given height is 1.6 × 10⁵J.

Work done is simply defined as the energy transfer that takes place when an object is either pushed or pulled over a certain distance by an external force. It is expressed as;

W = F × d

Where F is force applied or Weight and d is distance

Also Force = Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.

Since gravity is acting on the boxes as it been lift

W = Weight × height from ground level

W = mg × d

Where m is mass of the boxes, g is accelration due to gravity( g = 9.8m/s² ) and d is distance from ground level.

Given the data in the question;

Since each box has a mass of 7.89 kg

Mass of the 345 boxes = 345 × 7.89 kg = 2722.05kg

Distance or height d = 6.0m

Work done W = ?

To determine the work done, we substitute our values into the expression above.

W = mg × d

W = 2722.05kg × 9.8m/s² × 6.0m

W = 160056.5kgm²/s²

W = 160056.5J

W = 1.6 × 10⁵J

Therefore, Given the value of the mass of each boxes, the work done in lifting the boxes to the given height is 1.6 × 10⁵J.

A ball is thro.d hit the grouvelocity)?

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball is 3.52 m/s.

Explanation:

A projectile is any object that moves under the influence of gravity and momentum only. Examples are; a thrown ball, a fired bullet, a kicked ball, thrown javelin, etc.

Given that the ball was thrown vertically upward on the top of a skyscraper of height 61.9 m. So that the velocity can be determined by;

u = $\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }$

Where: u is the velocity of the object, H is the height and g is the gravitational force on the object. Given that: H = 61.9 m and g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$ , then;

u = $\sqrt{\frac{2*61.9}{10} }$

= $\sqrt{\frac{123.8}{10} }$

u = 3.5185

The velocity of the ball is 3.52 m/s.

In order for gravitational potential energy to be stored, there must be _____.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: 1

an object positioned at some height in a gravitational field

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy stored due to position of the object or position at certain height relative to zero position.

Gravitational potential energy can also be expressed as object position at some height above or below zero position in a gravitational field

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

F = ma is the formula of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Newton's Second Law of Motion is defined as Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.
