Question

How much work does it take to raise a `5 kg` weight `17 m`?

Answer 1

Work would be `833J`

Explanation:

To find work we need to know that

`"work"=Fd`

Where `F` is force and `d` is distance

In this case `F = mg` because our acceleration vector would be equal and opposite to `g` the force of gravity. So now we have:

`"work"=mgd=[5.0kg][9.8m/s^2][17m]`

`"work"= 833J`
