Question

calculate the amount of work done when a weight of 0.5kg raised to a height of 5m​

Answer 1

The amount of work done in such situation is equal to the gravitational potential energy, PE grav, done by raising the weight to a height of 5 m. It is solved as

PE grav = mgh where m = 0.5 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2, and h = 5 m

PE grav = 0.5 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 5 m

PE grav = 24.5 Joules
