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:
d.Energy as heat transferred into an object is determined by the amount of work done on the object.
Explanation:
The formula of the kinetic energy is:

where m is a mass of the object, v is speed of the object at the moment of time. So we have:

The answer is
2000 Joules.
Answer:
24.531 m
Explanation:
t = Time taken = 1.7 s
u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a
Equation of motion

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m
