of 1.5 m.
(a) How much work does he does in lifting one box?
(b) How much energy is transferred when one box is lifted?
(c) If the man lifts 4 boxes per minute, at what power is he working? (g = 10
m s–2)
Section -E
CASE STUDY QUESTIONS
11.Lift an object through a certain height. The object can now do work. It begins to fall when
released. This implies that it has acquired some energy. If raised to a greater height it can do more
work and hence possesses more energy. From where did it get the energy? In the above situations,
the energy gets stored due to the work done on the object. The energy transferred to an object is
stored as potential energy if it is not used to cause a change in the velocity or speed of the object.An
object increases its energy when raised through a height. This is because work isdone on it against
gravity while it is being raised. The energy present in such an objectis the gravitational potential
energy.
