How high did a worker lift a 25 kg bag of sand if it now has 2940 of gravitational potential energy

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.
