Question

Roughly to what height would a 5 kg stone need to be raised in order to have the same stored energy as the energy stored in the defibrillator capacitor?

Answer 1

8.16m is the required height, a 5kg stone need to be raised.

One sort of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, which is equal to the product of the object's mass (m), the gravitational acceleration (g), and the object's height (h) as measured in relation to the ground's surface (the body).

We obtain the formula by considering the work done in raising a mass m through a height h.

Work in elevating mass m through height h is equal to force times distance.

The force must be greater than the mass m's weight, hence F = mg.

Work done = mgh = gravitational potential energy

Energy =  Mass of the object × gravitational acceleration × height.

Mass of the stone = 5kg

Equating ;

∴ 400 J = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s² × height

  Height = 8.16 m

Therefore, 8.16m is the required height.
