A ball of mass 0.5 kg thrown upwards reaches a maximum height of 5m.Calculate the work done by the force of gravity during this vertical displacement considering the value of `g =10m//s^(2)`.
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
Force of gravity acting on the ball, `F = mg = 0.5 xx 10 = 5N` Displacement of the ball, S = 5 m The force and displacement are in opposite directions. Hence work done bythe force of gravity on the ball is negative. `W = -FS` ` = -5 xx 5` ` = -25J`
