Answer:
490J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of box = 10kg
Height = 5m
Unknown:
Work done = ?
Solution:
Work done can be derived from the product of force and distance;
Work done = force x distance
Force here is applied by gravity and it is the weight
The distance is the height
Work done = weight x height
Work done = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height
Work done = 10 x 9.8 x 5 = 490J
