Question

A box with mass of 6.0 kg is lifted ( without acceleration) through a height of. 2.0, in order to place it upon the shelf of a closet. A. What is the increase in potential energy of the box B. How much work was required to lift the box to this position A box with mass of 6.0 kg is lifted ( without acceleration) through a height of. 2.0, in order to place it upon the shelf of a closet. A. What is the increase in potential energy of the box B. How much work was required to lift the box to this position A. What is the increase in potential energy of the box B. How much work was required to lift the box to this position

Explanation / Answer

A)

PE = mgh

where m = 6 kg

g = 9.81 m/s^2

h = 2 m

PE = 6 kg x 9.81 m/s^2 x 2 m

PE = 117.72 J

B)

work done = potential energy

work done = 117.72 J
