Children in a tree house lift a small dog in a basket 4.00 m up to their house. if it takes 187 j of work to do this, what is the combined mass of the dog and basket?

A=Fh
A - work
F - force
h - distance

F=mg
m - mass (god+basket)

so
A=mgh
187 = m*10*4
187=40m
m=187/40
m=4.675 kg
or 4kg and 675g

pretty small dog...

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.
