So:
height = Ep / (mass * acceleration due to gravity)

∙ 12y agoOnly the vertical height of the stairs is measured for work because it accounts for the change in potential energy associated with lifting oneself to a higher elevation against gravity. The horizontal distance does not significantly affect the amount of work done as it does not require overcoming any vertical displacement.
as we go up gravity decreases
Gravity does not lift. The force is doing the work by lifting the riders. When the riders come down from the 60 meter height, then gravity will be at work.
vertical height over lengh
Work is said to be done against the force of gravity when an object is moved vertically upwards, against the force of gravity, over a certain distance. In this case, the force applied must be greater than the force of gravity acting on the object for work to be done against gravity.
The work done by the force of gravity can be calculated using the formula: work = force x distance. The force of gravity is the weight, which is calculated as mass x gravity. Given that the ball is at rest at the end, the work done by gravity is equal to the gravitational potential energy lost during the descent: work = weight x height. Substituting the values, work = (0.25 kg x 9.81 m/s^2) x 10 m = 24.53 J.
If the work done to give a box 400J of energy is against gravity, it would be equal to the force required multiplied by the vertical height lifted. This means the work done would depend on the weight of the box and the distance it is lifted.
The work done by gravity on the object is zero because the initial and final positions of the object are at the same height, and gravity acts in a vertical direction. The gravitational force only does work when there is a component of the force in the direction of the displacement. Since the vertical displacement is zero, the work done by gravity is zero.
0.5 x base length x vertical height
W = mgh m = mass g = gravitational acceleration h = height m = 1 kg g = 9.8 m/S2 h = 1 metre W = 1x 9.8 x 1 = 9.8 N
Potential energy is the type of energy stored due to gravity and height above the ground. This energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work when an object is released from that height.
The work done in pushing the car up the incline is equal to the change in potential energy. Use the formula W = mgh, where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height. Calculate the vertical height the car has been lifted and then determine the work done.
