Hi there!
Recall Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:
Where:
Fg = Force of gravity (N)
G = Gravitational Constant
m1, m2 = masses of objects (kg)
r = distance between objects (m)
Plug in the given values stated in the problem:
The work output is
Explanation:
The power of the snowmobile is
Keeping in mind that
We can convert it into Watts:
The energy used by the snowmobile can be found as follows:
where
P = 111,900 W is the power used
t = 15 s is the time interval
Substituting,
However, the snowmobile is 18% efficient: this means that only 18% of this energy is converted into useful work. Therefore, the work output is
