Answer:
B) 200 [J]
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must remember the definition of work which tells us that it is equal to the product of force by a distance, in this case, the force is the weight of the ball. The distance traveled is 4 [m] since 6-2 = 4[m]
F = m*g
where:
m = mass = 5 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s^2]
F = 5*10 = 50 [N]
w = F*d
where:
F = force = 50 [N]
d = 4 [m]
w = 50*4 = 200 [J]
