Question

120 J of work was done to lift an object 6 m above

the ground. How much force was applied to this
object and what was its mass?
Select one:
120 N, 5 kg
O
20 N, 3.04 kg
O
720 N, 12.3 kg
O 20 N, 2.04 kg

Answer 1

The last option, 20 N and 2.04 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

work = (force)(distance)

work = 120 joules

distance: 6 m

rearrange to find force:

120=(6)F

F= 120/6 = 20 Newtons.

Assuming its lifted from Earth's surface, the force of gravity will be 9.81 m/s^2. Let's find mass:

F=mg

m=F/g

m=(20)/(9.81)= 2.038 kg
