(a) How much work is required to lift a 35-kg object from the ground 3.0 m into the air? (b) How much gravitational potential energy did this object gain?

(a) work required to lift the object is 1029 J

(b) the gravitational potential energy gained by this object is 1029 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 35 kg

height through which the object was lifted, h = 3 m

(a) work required to lift the object

W = F x d

W = (mg) x h

W = 35 x 9.8 x 3

W = 1029 J

(b) the gravitational potential energy gained by this object is calculated as;

ΔP.E = Pf - Pi

where;

Pi is the initial gravitational potential energy, at initial height (hi = 0)

ΔP.E = (35 x 9.8 x 3) - (35 x 9.8 x 0)

ΔP.E = 1029 J

what is the question because that is not a question.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
