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.

Answer:

v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation a little, we have a compressed spring so it has an elastic energy that will become part kinetic energy and a potential part for the man to get out of the barrel, in addition there is a friction force that they perform work against the movement.  So the variation of mechanical energy is equal to the work of the fictional force

    W_{fr} = ΔEm = Em_{f} -Em₀

Let's write the mechanical energy at each point

Initial

    Em₀ = Ke = ½ k x²

Final

   Em_{f} = K + U = ½ m v² + mg y

Let's use Hooke's law to find compression

    F = - k x

    x = -F / k

    x = 4400/1100

    x = - 4 m

Let's write the energy equation

    fr d = ½ m v² + mgy - ½ k x²

Let's clear the speed

   v² = (fr d + ½ kx² - mg y) 2 / m

   v² = (40 4.00 + ½ 1100 4² - 60.0 9.8 2.50)   2/60.0

   v² = (160 + 8800 - 1470) / 30

   v = √ (229.66)

   v = 15.8 m/s

Answer:

C

Explanation:

First find the electrical wattage

W = I^2 * R

R = 12 ohms

I = 2 amps

Wattage = 2^2 * 12

Wattage = 4* 12

Wattage = 48 watts.

Now you need to use the power formula

Work = Power * Time

Work = ?

Power = 48 watts

Time = 3 minutes = 3 * 60 = 180 seconds.

Work = 48 * 180

Work = 8640 J

That's C
