Question

The amount of electric energy consumed by a 60.0-watt lightbulb for 1.00 minute could lift a 10.0 newton object to a maximum vertical height of

Answer 1

The maximum vertical height of the object that is lifted is 360 m.

What is power?

Power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.

Amount of energy consumed by a 60W light bulb for 1 minutes

P = 60 W

t = 1 mins = 60seconds

W = 10N

This shows that the electrical energy is converted to potential energy

Let calculate the electrical energy

Power is the rate of doing work

Power = Work / time

Therefore, W = P x T

W = 60 × 60

W = 3600 J

Potential energy can be calculated using

P.E = mgh

W = mg

Then, P.E = W•h

P.E = 10•h

Then, Potential energy = Electrical energy

P.E = Work

10•h = 3600

Divide both sides by 10

h = 3600 / 10

h = 360m

So, the object will be lifted to a height of 360m
