Answer :

fichoh

Answer:

490Nm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of rock = 5kg

Height or distance = 10 meters

A rock with mass of 5kg is carried up a small hill 10 meters high. how much work had to be done in carrying the rock up hill?

Workdone is product of force and distance.

Workdone = force * distance

Recall :

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g)

g = 9.8m/s^2

Force = 5 * 9.8 = 49 N

Therefore,

Workdone = 49 × 10 = 490Nm
