First, calculate the work done:
W = F × s = 20 N × 3 m = 60 J
GPE = m × g × h
Energy is the ability to do work. There are two main types of energy: kinetic energy and potential energy.
A 20 N force is applied to a block, causing it to move 3 m to the right. Calculate the work done on the block. First, calculate the work done: W = F
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its height above the ground. The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is given by the equation:
First, calculate the work done:
KE = ½ × m × v^2 = ½ × 5 kg × (2 m/s)^2 = 10 J
