Question

a crane does 9,500 J of work to lift a crate straight up using a force of 125 N. how high does the crane lift the crate?

Answer 1

The crane lifts the crate up to 76 m high

Step-by-step explanation:

Work Done by a Force

The work done by a force of magnitude F that displaces an object by a distance y is given by

`W=F.y`

We know a crane does a work of 9,500 Joule to lift a crate and is using a force of 125 Nw.

The above equation can be solved to know the value of y in terms of the work and the force:

`\displaystyle y=(W)/(F)`

Plugging in the given values

`\displaystyle y=(9,500)/(125)`

`y=76\ m`

The crane lifts the crate up to 76 m high
