Depends on how strong you are. People can hit it anywhere between a few inches and 500 yards.
<span>if we assume the origin is at the dropping point and the object is merely dropped and not thrown up or down then y0 = 0 and v0 = 0. The equation reduces to </span>
<span>y = 0 + 0t + ½gt² </span>
<span>y = ½gt² </span>
<span>t = √(2y/g) </span>
<span>in the ft - lb - s system </span>
<span>y = -100 ft </span>
<span>g = -32.2 ft / s² </span>
<span>t = √(2y/g) </span>
<span>t = √(2(-100) / (-32.2)) </span>
<span>t = 2.5 s</span>
Answer: 7291.2 joules
Explanation:
Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance.
Thus, Workdone = Force X distance
Since Distance moved by box = 12 metres
mass of box = 62kg
Acceleration due to gravity when box was lifted is represented by g = 9.8m/s^2
Recall that Force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity
i.e Force = 62kg x 9.8m/s^2
= 607.6 Newton
So, Workdone = Force X Distance
Workdone = 607.6 Newton X 12 metres
Workdone = 7291.2 joules
Thus, 7291.2 joules of work was done.
You just multiply these two numbers, it's 1250J
