While working out, a man lifts a 10-kg object a vertical distance of 0.80 m. He then carries it for 10 m where he sets it down a vertical distance of 0.80 m. How much work does he do on the object when he picks the object up
Work is the force exerted on an object times the distance over which the force is exerted: W = Fx, where W is the work in Nm = Joule. Work done to lift an object of mass m a height h: W = Fgh = mgh.
