Answer:
12 m
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (m) of bag = 25 kg
Potential energy (PE) = 2940 J
Height (h) =?
Objects carried to a particular height will always experience an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s².
With the above in mind, we can obtain the height to which the load is lifted to as shown below:
Mass (m) of bag = 25 kg
Potential energy (PE) = 2940 J
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s².
Height (h) =?
PE = mgh
2940 = 25 × 9.8 × h
2940 = 245 × h
Divide both side by 245
h = 2940 / 245
h = 12 m
Therefore, the worker lifts the load to a height of 12 m.
