A moving company is called into a building and asked to relocate 520 bricks to a location 15 meters above the ground. If each brick is 4 kilograms, what amount of work will be needed to accomplish the task?A. 305,760 JB. 229,320 JC. 203,840 JD. 588,000 J

Respuesta :

Answer: A. 305,760 J

Explanation:

Work is defined as a force causing the movement or displacement of an object.

work=[tex]mass\times acceleration\times height[/tex]

Given: m=  mass = 4 kg

g= acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.80m/s^2[/tex]

h = height = 15m

Putting in the values we get,

work=[tex]4kg\times 9.80m/s^2\times 15m=588J[/tex]

[tex]1kgm^2s^{-2}=1Joule(J)[/tex]

Now 520 bricks are to be relocated, thus work done = [tex]520\times 588J=305760J[/tex]

Thus amount of work will be needed to accomplish the task is 305760 J.
