Question

A 10 kg object is lifted to a height of 5 meters. Calculate the work done in lifting the object.

• A. \( 500 \, \text{J} \)
• B. \( 100 \, \text{J} \)
• C. \( 200 \, \text{J} \)
• D. \( 150 \, \text{J} \)

Hint:

Work done is always calculated as the force applied over a distance. In gravitational work problems, the force is equal to the weight of the object, which is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration.
