The book acquires (2.5 x 3) = 7.5 joules of gravitational potential energy.
You'll have to do at least that much work, plus whatever it takes to account
for the inefficiency of motions, muscle metabolism etc.
Work = force x distance = 200 joules
Work Done= Force applied x distance moved in direction of the force. so the work done should in this case be 40J
Before it falls it has gravitational potential energy. While it falls, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Part of this gets dissipated by friction - mainly converted to heat. Once it hits the ground, all the energy will be converted to heat.
yes because is more
A box of matches on a high shelf has gravitational potential energy.A box of matches falling from the high shelf has kinetic energy.A box of matches on fire has heat, sound and light energy.A box of matches on its own has chemical potential energy.
How does a book on a higher shelf have more potential energy than a book on the lower shelf
Potential energy.
10
The height of the shelf can be calculated using the formula: work done = force x distance. In this case, the work done is 40 J, the force is 10 N, so the distance (height of the shelf) can be calculated as 40 J / 10 N = 4 meters.
0 / 200 = 0 meters.
Basically, you reach for a book in the library with your hand. So i suppose the two ways are; 'standing on the floor' or 'standing on a ladder' if the book is on a high shelf.
Work = force x distance = 200 joules
Since potential energy equals mgh. When h, height increases potential energy also increases. If h is 0 then p.e is 0/
Only as high as a third shelf.
it depends if your cealing is high you will probably have a big shelf.
Work Done= Force applied x distance moved in direction of the force. so the work done should in this case be 40J
