A 0.180 kg ball falls 2.5m. How much wordoes the force of gravity do on the ball?
Do I multiply .180x2.5 to get .45J
Thank you for your help
is it 1.765N x 2.5M = 4.4J ?
Yes, you are on the right track. To find the work done by the force of gravity on the ball, you need to multiply the force of gravity acting on the ball by the distance it falls.
First, let's calculate the force of gravity acting on the ball. The force of gravity can be calculated using the formula:
Force of gravity = mass x acceleration due to gravity
Given that the mass of the ball is 0.180 kg and the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2, we can calculate:
Force of gravity = 0.180 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 1.764 N
Now, to find the work done, you need to multiply the force of gravity by the distance the ball falls:
Work = force x distance
Work = 1.764 N x 2.5 m = 4.41 J
So, the work done by the force of gravity on the ball is 4.41 Joules (J).
Therefore, your previous calculation of 0.180 kg x 2.5 m = 0.45 J is incorrect. The correct answer is 4.41 J as explained above.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
work is force x distance.
Kilograms is mass, not force.
work=mass*g*distance.
The answer is 4.5
