Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
The initial PE [tex](PE)_i[/tex] = m×g×h
= 5 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 10 m
= 490.5 J
The change in Potential energy P.E of the box is:
ΔP.E = [tex]P.E_f -P.E_i[/tex]
ΔP.E = 0 - [tex](PE)_i[/tex]
ΔP.E = [tex]-P.E_i[/tex]
If we take a look at conservation of total energy for determining the change in the internal energy of the box;
[tex]\Delta P.E + \Delta K.E + \Delta U = 0[/tex]
[tex]\Delta U = -\Delta P.E - \Delta K.E[/tex]
this can be re-written as:
[tex]\Delta U =- (-\Delta P.E_i) - \Delta K.E[/tex]
Here, K.E = 0
Also, 70% goes into raising the internal energy for the box;
Thus,
[tex]\Delta U =(70\%) \Delta P.E_i-0[/tex]
[tex]\Delta U =(0.70) (490.5)[/tex]
ΔU = 343.35 J
Thus, the magnitude of the increase is = 343.35 J
