The energy that allows you to lift a backpack comes from the food that you eat, especially carbohydrates. The energy in carbohydrates is stored in molecules of ATP during the process of aerobic cellular respiration. When you need energy, ATP is broken down into ADP + P + Energy. That energy is used by the cells to do work, including lifting a backpack.

If Aashma Poudel does 150 joules of work lifting a 120-newton backpack. How high did she lift the backpack?

D=1.250m.


Why is the force needed to pull a backpack up increases as it gets higher and higher?

As the backpack gets higher, the distance over which you are lifting it increases, requiring more work to overcome gravity. The force needed to lift the backpack is directly proportional to the distance it is lifted and the weight of the backpack. This is due to the gravitational force acting on the backpack.


What force are you working against when you lift a backpack?

gravity, it is the force that pulls everything towards the centre of the earth.

Why are the lift locks called the lift locks?

If you are referring to a 'lift' on a lock, then this is usually a crank in a cam to allow for more space to allow clearance for the door.


When you lift a object what kind of energy are you transferring it to?

When you lift an object, you are transferring potential energy to it. This potential energy is due to the object's position in the gravitational field. The higher you lift the object, the more potential energy it possesses.


What type of energy does a lift gain when going up?

A lift gains potential energy when going up, which is due to its increased height above the ground. This potential energy can then be converted back to kinetic energy as the lift descends.


What kind of energy do you create when you lift something?

When you lift something, you create mechanical energy. This is a type of kinetic energy associated with the movement of objects. The energy comes from the work done by your muscles to lift the object against the force of gravity.


What kind of energy is used in lift?

Electric energy is typically used to power the motors that generate force to lift an object, such as in elevators or cranes. This electric energy is converted into mechanical energy to lift the object against the force of gravity.


What is the energy change that take place when going up in a lift?

An elevator going up is increasing its potential energy. This energy and some kinetic energy to speed up the elevator in its way up comes from an electric motor that pulls the lifting cables that hold the elevator.

When you do work to lift an object what form of energy does the object gain?

The object gains potential energy when you do work to lift it. This potential energy is due to its position in the gravitational field.
