Answer:
W = M g = 150 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 1470 N
You were only given 3 significant figures in the question.
Work needed = 23,520 J

</h3>
Given
height = 12 m
mass = 200 kg
Required
work needed by the crane
Solution
Work is the transfer of energy caused by the force acting on a moving object
Work is the product of force with the displacement of objects.
Can be formulated
W = F x d
W = Work, J, Nm
F = Force, N
d = distance, m
F = m x g
Input the value :
W = mgd
W = 200 kg x 9.8 m/s²x12 m
W = 23520 J
2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....
1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy
