Answer:
this question is wrong because it is must to have a mass for object to find the work done .
Explanation:
formula is - mass ×10 ×height

Answer:
The potential energy of the cart is (9.8 × M) J.
Explanation:
The starting height is 0 m. That means the cart is located on the ground level. Then it is elevated to a particular height. Work has to be done on the cart to elevate it against the force of gravity. This energy required to do the work will be stored in the cart in the form of potential energy. The potential energy can be calculated as:
P.E = mgh
Where 'm' is the mass of the cart, 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity, and 'h' is the height through which the cart is being elevated.
We are not provided with the value of the mass of the cart. So let us take it as 'M' itself.
The height of elevation, h = 1 m
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
∴ P.E = M × 9.8 × 1
= 9.8 × M
= (9.8 × mass) J
