Well if we use work = force * distance we have the distance but not the force. We have to use another equation f=ma (force = mass*acceleration) where the acceleration is gravity (9.8 m/s or 10 if you are rounding). Not using rounding:

m=10

a=9.8

therefore 10*9.8=98N=force

We then input that into our work formula:

force = 98

distance = 5

therefore 98*5 = 490J = work

without rounding that would simply be 500J

Hope this helps!

How much work is done by gravity on the two-block system?

The work done by gravity on the two-block system is equal to the force of gravity multiplied by the distance the blocks move in the direction of gravity.


How much work is done by gravity as the riders are lifted to a height of 60 meters?

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.


How much work does gravity do on the elevator?

Gravity does work on the elevator when it moves up or down, but the amount of work done depends on the distance the elevator travels and the weight of the elevator and its occupants.


How much work does gravity do on the apple if it falls 6m?

Gravity does work equal to the change in potential energy of the apple as it falls. The work done by gravity can be calculated by multiplying the force of gravity (9.8 m/s^2) by the distance the apple falls (6m). The work done by gravity on the apple falling 6m is approximately 294.24 Joules.


Does peristalsis work against gravity?

Yes, peristalsis will work against gravity.


Why does a rocket need such a big engine?

So that it can escape Earth's Gravity. The rockets work by burning so much fuel that they can overpower Earth's gravity.


How much work is done against gravity when lowering a 16 kg box 0.50m?

The work done against gravity is calculated using the formula: work = force x distance. In this case, the force against gravity is the weight of the box, which is mass x gravity. So, work = (16 kg x 9.8 m/s^2) x 0.50 m = 78.4 J.


How will things work with no gravity?

If there was no gravity nothing would be stationary. One example is that everything would float right off the planet and keep going forever. Another example is that if you threw a baseball, it would not slow down or stop, it would keep going.


How much work does the force of gravity do on a 5.45-kg bowling ball that falls a distance of 0.755m?

What is powered by earth gravity?

Earth gravity powers anything that falls, doing work on it equal to its weight multiplied by the distance it falls, and giving it that much kinetic energy.


How much work must be done on a 10kg bicycle to increase its speed from 2 M's to 3 M's?

Work done = increase in kinetic energy ie 1/2 * 10 * (3+2)(3-2) [recall a2 - b2 = (a+b)(a-b)] Hence work done = 25 joule.
