Breaking down sugar (glucose) is a chemical change. Sugar is a compound that can be broken down.

In your body, "break down sugar" doesn't mean grind up the crystals
into powder, and if it did, you couldn't do it with oxygen, you'd need
a hammer or a grinder.

"Break down sugar" means take a molecule of sucrose or lactose or fructose,
use oxygen to rip it apart, and then put the pieces back together as a molecule
of glucose.

It should be pretty obvious that this is a chemical change.

calculate the work done in kilo joules in lifting a mass of 20kg at steady velocity through a vertical height of 20m
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf Work\ done = 4 kJ}

Explanation:

Since work done is in the form of potential energy, we will use the formula of potential energy here.

We know that,

<h3>P.E. = mgh </h3>

Where,

m = mass = 20 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

h = vertical height = 20 m

So,

<h3>Work done = mgh</h3>

Work done = (20)(10)(20)

Work done = 4000 joules

Work done = 4 kJ
