Hmm this is difficult you need to go to answers.con and it come out cya :D
Answer:
To calculate the predicted surface elevation of a 50km thick crust above a surface of 2.5km we are given a density of 3 gram per centimeter cube.
The displacement of the material will be calculated by subtracting the surface elevation of 2.5 km from the 50 km thick crust. Therefore 50-25= 47.5 km.
Thus let the density of the material be Pm
50*3= 47.5*Pm
Therefore: Pm= (50*3)/47.5= 3.16gram per centimeter cube
Thus with an average density of 2.8gram per centimeter cube
50*2.8= (50-x)*3.16
(50-x)= (50*2.8)/3.16
50-x=44.3
x=50-44.3= 5.7

Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
Answer:
579600J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Height of the building = 828m
Weight of the man = 700N
Unknown:
Work done by the man = ?
Solution:
The work done by the man is the same as the potential energy expended.
Work done:
Work done = Weight x height = 700 x 828
Work done = 579600J
