14. After finishing her homework, Sue climbs up a 5.00 m high flight of stairs to her bedroom
Find the magnitude of Sue's weight
and how much
work Sue does in climbing the stairs if she
has a mass of 50.0 kg? (4.90 x 2 N, 2450J)


Sagot :

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height  = 5m

Mass of Sue  = 50kg

Unknown:

Magnitude of Sue's weight  = ?

Work done by Sue = ?

Solution:

Weight is the vertical force exerted by a body in the presence of gravity.

Mathematically;

        W = mg

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

  Weight  = 50 x 9.8  = 490N

Work done  = Force x distance = weight x height

 Work done  = 490 x 5 = 2450J
