Question
ENERGY
1. If the object is released after you have raised the object and you failed to take its height but was able to take the distance it has traveled after half of a second, Can you still determine the energy which this object posses at this point? What form of energies could be present in this state of motion and position of the object?
2. A student lifts her 10.0 kg school bag from the floor, bringing it to a height of 1.4 m. How much work was done? how much energy was gained?
