An object of mass 5 kg falls from rest through a vertical distance of `20 m` and attains a velocity of 10 m/s. How much work is done by the resistance of the air on the objrct? `(g=10m//s^(2))`.

Answer» Applying work-energy theorem,
work done by all the forces =change in kinetic energy
or `W_mg+W_"air"=1/2mv^2-mv`
`:. W_"air"=1/2mv^2-W_mg=1/2mv^2-mgh`
`=1/2xx5xx(10)^2-(5)xx(10)xx(20)`
`=-750j`
