A 20kg child lifts his 0.5kg ball of the floor to put it away on his bookshelf 1.5 meters above the ground. How much work has he done?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Work done by the boy is 7.50 J

Explanation:

mass of the ball m = 0.5kg

height of the bookshelf h = 1.5 m

acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

work done = ?

Workdone = force × distance

In this case Weight = Force

Workdone = mgh

= 0.5 × 10 × 1.5

= 7.50 J
