A truck carrying a 65.4-kg crate accelerates from rest to [07] km/hr on a flat horizontal surface in 15.2 seconds. The acceleration was not constant. How much work (J) was done on the crate by the truck?

The work done on the crate by the truck is 9472.54 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the truck, m = 65.4 kg

Initially, the object is at rest, u = 0

Final speed of the truck, v = 61.3 km /h = 17.02 m/s

m/s

Time, t = 15.2 s

We need to find the work done on the crate by the truck. The work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the truck as :

So, the work done on the crate by the truck is 9472.54 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

if they have a finite resultant

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
