Answer:
Explanation:
Given
mass of crane
distance moved
Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero
Tension force=weight
T=mg
Work done by Tension T is
Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces
Hi there!
We know that:
U = Potential Energy (J)
K = Kinetic Energy (J)
E = Total Energy (J)
At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:
U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J
To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:
100J = mgh
We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².
50J = 10(10)m
m = 1/2 kg
Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:
100J = 1/2(10)h
100J = 5h
<u>h = 20 meters</u>
