potential energy
The answer is 0. If you used the formula of =>mgh, you would get a value which would be wrong. The question is a trick question. There is no work done in 'holding' an object but work would be done in 'lifting' an object. Hence, 0. ~Dartz
Work = energy (by the Work-Energy Equivalence Theorem).The work done in lifting an object shows up as the gravitational potential energy of the object: W = mgh, where W is the work done; m is the object's mass; g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity; and h is the height to which the object is lifted. (This assumes that the lifting is done near Earth's surface, with gravity effectively constant.)ALL Credit goes to Argent at yahoo answers
mass of the object (times) gravitational acceleration (times) height the object reaches.
Work Done= Force X Distance moved by the object in the direction of the force = 20kg X 10N/kg X 0.40m = 80J

work done = m*g*h = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height change. work done = 50 * 9.8 * 20 work done = 9 800 joules

Gravity does not lift. The force is doing the work by lifting the riders. When the riders come down from the 60 meter height, then gravity will be at work.
Work Done= Force X Distance moved by the object in the direction of the force = 20kg X 10N/kg X 0.40m = 80J
That's correct. For work to be done, the force must have a component in the direction of the movement.
because the work done in placing that object at a height is stored in it as the potential energy....
The potential energy of the book on the shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. This is because the potential energy of an object at a certain height is equivalent to the work done against gravity to lift it to that height.
Displacement is the process used to find the volume of an irregular object. This is done by submerging the object in water and measuring either the height the water rises or the volume of water that overflows the container.
