A load of mass 5kg is raised through a height of 2m. calculate the work done against (g=10mls)
1 answer:
The work done against gravity is 100 J
Explanation:
The work done against gravity in order to lift an object is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the object:
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
is the change in height of the object
For the object in this problem, we have:
m = 5 kg
Substituting into the equation,

Given that,
Mass of object, m = 55 kg
Mechanical energy of the object, M = 4306 J
Potential energy, P = 2940 J
We know that the mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,
Mechanical energy = kinetic energy + potential energy
Kinetic energy is given by :
v is velocity of object
So, the velocity of object is 7.04 m/s.
