Given:
Stone of mass 5 kg lying on ground is raised to height 5m
To find:
Which energy is required to do work = ?
Explanation:
As we are rising the stone above the ground thus the energy acting here is potential energy. Always at height there is potential energy which does the work.
Potential energy = mgh
m = mass of object
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s or for easier 10 m/s
h = height of object from reference point ( here reference point is ground)
Here, m = 5 kg, h = 5 m, g = 10 m/s
Work done = Potential energy
Work done = mgh
Work done = 5 × 5 × 10
Work done = 250 Joule
Answer:
Thus, energy required is potential energy
Basic point:
- Try examine such examples to get good hold on it
