Answer:
Workdone = 147Nm
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 5kg
Height = 3m
We know that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s²
First of all, we would find the force applied;
Force = 5*9.8
Force = 49N
Now, to find the workdone;
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Workdone = 49 * 3
Workdone = 147Nm
Answer:
The kinetic energy of the phone would increase. The gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.
Explanation:
The kinetic energy 
of an object is proportional to the square of the speed of that object. If air resistance is negligible, the phone would accelerate under gravitational pull and speed up. Hence, the kinetic energy of the phone would increase.
The gravitational field near the surface of the earth is approximately constant. Hence, the gravitational potential energy 
of the phone would be proportional to its height. As the phone approaches the ground, the height of the phone becomes lower and the gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.
Answer: apparent weighlessness.
Explanation:
1) Balance of forces on a person falling:
i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).
ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).
iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).
2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.
3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.
Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.
