Question

The amount of work done in lifting an object is equal to​

Answer 1

Answer:

The force you are exerting is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity. As you are lifting the object you are doing work on the object. ... It is equal to the magnitude of the force, multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:if an object of mass m is raised through a height h, the work done on the object is equal to mgh, and so this amount of energy is transferred to the object. (Notice that this equation is identical to the one describing an object falling under gravity, Equation 7.)
