Answer:
2156 J
Explanation:
From the question,
Work done = Combined mass of the bucket and water×height×gravity.
W = (M+m)hg............................. Equation 1
Where M = mass of water, m = mass of the bucket, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: M = 20 kg, m = 2 kg, h = 10 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these value into equation 1
W = (20+2)×10×9.8
W = 22×98
W = 2156 J
Formula to find gravitational potential energy:
mgh
m: mass
g: gravitational acceleration
h: height (relative to reference level)
so the P.E. at 1.0.m is (5x9.8x1)= 49J
P.E. at 1.5m is (5x9.8x1.5) =73.5J
P.E. at 2.0m is (5x9.8x2)=98J
control is constant for given set of readings.
