A ball of mass 0.5 kg thrown upwards reaches a maximum height of 5m.Calculate the work done by the force ofgravity during thisverticaldisplacement considering the value of g =10m//s^(2). |
|
Answer» Solution :Force of GRAVITY acting on the ball, `F = mg = 0.5 xx 10 = 5N` Displacement of the ball, S = 5 m The force and displacement are in opposite DIRECTIONS. Hence WORK DONE bythe force of gravity on the ball is negative. `W = -FS` ` = -5 xx 5` ` = -25J` |
