If 2.00 J of work is done in raising a 0.195 kg apple, how far is it lifted?
The work done in raising an object is given by the formula: work = force * distance.
To find the distance lifted by the apple, we need to know the force applied to lift it. The force can be found using the formula: force = mass * gravity.
Given:
work = 2.00 J
mass (m) = 0.195 kg
gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)
force = mass * gravity
force = 0.195 kg * 9.8 m/s^2
force = 1.911 N
Using the formula: work = force * distance, we can rearrange it to find distance:
distance = work / force
distance = 2.00 J / 1.911 N
distance ≈ 1.047 m
Therefore, the apple is lifted approximately 1.047 meters.
