Best Answer

work is equal to a change in energy. in this case there is a change in potential energy.

potential energy = mass x gravity x height

E(p)=mgh

E(p)= 3x9.8x40

E(p)=1176 J

thus there is a change in potential energy of 1176 joules

and since W=change E(p)

Work done is 1176 J

What is a weight on earth of a girl with a mass of 30kg?

On Earth, gravitation is approximately 9.8 meters/second square. Therefore, multiply by 9.8.


An object of mass 4.5 is lifted through a distance of 10m H ow much work is done?

I believe that when you say 'lifted through', you mean lifted to a height of 10m. If so, the amount of work is such: Work= Force x Distance which have the units (Joules = Newtons x meters) When the object is lifted, it increases in its potential energy. The equation for this is: Potential energy = mass x gravitational force x height = 4.5 x 9.81 x 10 =441.45 Joules As 1 joule = 1 newton x meters and we have 441.45 Joules, 441.45 joules of works is done! :D


An object with a mass of 21kilograms is lifted through a distance of 7 meters How much work is done?

use the formula W = mgs W stands for work done in joules m stands for mass of the object g stands for gravity s stands for the distance the object is lifted W = mgs W = 78kilograms•9.8m/s2•6meters W = 4586.4 J (joules) answer would be 4,586.4 J


An object with a mass of 21 kg is lifted through a distance of 7 meters how much work is done?

Work = (force) x (distance) = 7 x 2.4 = 16.8 joules


A 10 KG mass is lifted to a height of meters what is its weight?

To get the weight (in Newton), multiply the mass by Earth's gravitation - about 9.8, in SI units.
