Answer:
W=315 x 10⁵ J
Explanation:
Given that
F= 2.5 x 10⁵ N
d= 90 m
K.E.=5.4 x 10⁷ J
We know that work done by all force is equal to the change in kinetic energy
Lets take work done by catapult is W
W + F.d= K.E.
W= 5.4 x 10⁷ - 2.5 x 10⁵ x 90 J
W= (540 - 25 x 9) 10⁵ J
W=315 x 10⁵ J
Assuming Adam is on earth g= 9.8 m/s and m= weight/ gravity = 667/9.8 = 68 kg
