A weightlifter is lifting weights of mass 200kg up to a height of 2 meters. If g = 9.8 m/s2, calculate: a) potential energy acquired by the weight b) work done by the weightlifter |
Answer» Mass, m = 200 kg Height, h = 2m Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2 a) Potential energy = mgh = 3920 J b) Work done against gravity = potential energy gained by the weight Therefore, work done, W = mgh = 3920 J |
