Find the energy in Joules required to lift a 55.0 Megagram object a distance of 500 cm.

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.

A piece of styrofoam has a charge of 0.002 mC and is placed 0.5 m from a grain of salt with a charge of 0.03 nC. How much electr
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

2.16×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = kqq'/r² (coulomb's Law)....................... Equation 1

Where F = electrostatic force, k = coulomb's constant, q = charge on the styrofoam, q' = charge on the grain of salt, r = distance between the charges.

From the question,

Given: q = 0.002 mC = 2.0×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 0.03 nC = 3.0×10⁻¹¹ C, r = 0.5 m

Constant: k = 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (2.0×10⁻⁶)(3.0×10⁻¹¹)(8.99×10⁹)/0.5²

F = 2.16×10⁻⁶ N
