A 50.0 kg object is lifted using 4900.0 J. How high is it lifted?
mass*g*height=energy
solve for height.
To find the height the object is lifted, we need to use the equation for potential energy:
Potential energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height
Given:
Mass of the object (m) = 50.0 kg
Potential energy (PE) = 4900.0 J
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
We can rearrange the equation to solve for height:
Height = PE / (m * g)
Substituting the given values:
Height = 4900.0 J / (50.0 kg * 9.8 m/s²)
Calculating:
Height = 10.0 m
Therefore, the object is lifted to a height of 10.0 meters.
