Question

An upward force is applied to a 6.0–kilogram box. this force displaces the box upward by 10.00 meters. what is the work done by the force on the box?

Answer 1

Work = fs = mgh [Ep] = 6(10)(10) = 100

Answer 2

Answer:

The work done by the force on the box is W = 588 J

Explanation:

The work done by the force on the box can be expressed as:

$W=mg(h_{2}-h_{1})$

where m is the mass of the box, g is the gravitational force g=$g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $h_{2}$, $h_{1}$ are the heights of the box in at final and initial moment.

Replacing the values, you have:

$W=6.0kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(10.00m-0.00m)$

$W=588\frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}$

that is W = 588 J
