An upward force is applied to a 6.0–kilogram box. this force displaces the box upward by 10.00 meters. what is the work done by the force on the box?
Answer:
The work done by the force on the box is W = 588 J
Explanation:
The work done by the force on the box can be expressed as:
\(W=mg(h_{2}-h_{1})\)
where m is the mass of the box, g is the gravitational force g=\(g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}\) and \(h_{2}\), \(h_{1}\) are the heights of the box in at final and initial moment.
Replacing the values, you have:
\(W=6.0kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(10.00m-0.00m)\)
\(W=588\frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}\)
that is W = 588 J
