How much work is done by a crane that lowers 1000N of material a distance of 150

The crane does NO work.

Work = (force) x (distance)

= (1,000 N) x (150 meters ?) = 150,000 joules

But the work is in the direction of the force, and it isn't the crane
pushing the material down. It's gravity.

Gravity is doing the work.

If the material was being lowered by a cable wrapped around the shaft
of an electric generator, then you could use the work done by gravity to
generate some electrical energy, and then sell the energy.

Or, if the "material" happened to be water, you could let gravity lower it
through a turbine or a water wheel, and use the work done by gravity to
grind wheat.

Yes, the crane may be raising a sweat, working against gravity. The
purpose is only to prevent gravity from doing the work too fast.

Since workdone is Force times distance Given force-1000n Distance-150 Wd-1000 times 150 Wd-150000n.

Answer:

Velocity of the ball after 3.04 (s) = 29.79 (m/s)

Explanation:

From the free fall movement we have the following formulas: $Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh$ and $h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2}$ , First we need to find the height to time iqual to 3.04 s using the formula: $h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2}$ and remember that golf ball was released from the rest (Vo= 0 (m/s)) so $h= (0 (m/s))*(3.04 (s)) - \frac{9.8 (m/s^2)*(3.04 (s))^{2} }{2}$ , we get: h = -45.28 (m) with the height that we have got, now the velocity of the ball is calculate using $Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh$ solving for Vf, we get: $Vf = \sqrt{Vo^{2}-2*g*h }$ replacing the values given $Vf = \sqrt{(0 m/s)^{2}-2*(9.8 m/s^2)*(-45.28 m) }$ , so we get: Vf = 29.79 (m/s).

Acceleration=9.81m/s^2
initial velocity=0m/s
time=.28s

We have to find final velocity.

The equation we use is

Final velocity=initial velocity+acceleration x time

Vf=0m/s+(9.81m/s^2)(.28s)
Vf=2.7468m/s

We would round this to:

Vf (final velocity)=2.7m/s

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. From this conservation we will find the magnitude of the amplitude. Later for the second part, we will need to find the period, from which it will be possible to obtain the speed of the body.
