Gravitational potential energy added =
(mass) x (gravity) x (distance lifted)
= (852 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (3.5 m)
= (852 x 9.8 x 3.5) kg-m²/s²
= 29,223.6 joules
Wow! 2.95m/s is a mighty fast pace for a backpacker. Must have one of those Star Wars anti-gravity packs. Also, I would be curious as to why she passed her destination and then walked back.
<span>Anyway, it goes like this: </span>
<span>Say the time walking east is 't', and the total time is 'T'. </span>
<span>Then 5340 m + .511 t = 1.43 T </span>
<span>(This assumes that velocity is positive in both directions) </span>
<span>Two unknowns in one equation. But you also know that the time spent walking west is </span>
<span>5340m/ 2.95m/s = 1810 sec. </span>
<span>and the total time T = 1810 +t </span>
<span>Substitute this into the first equation, and you can solve for t = 3092 sec. </span>
<span>Then T = 4902 sec. and distance walked east is .511t = 1580m.</span>
Answer:
98J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of rock = 5kg
Height = 2m
Unknown:
Work done = ?
Solution:
The amount of work done is given as:
Work done = Force x distance
Work done = Weight x height
Work done = mgH
Now insert the parameters and solve;
Work done = 5 x 9.8 x 2 = 98J
