Question
An object of mass 5 kg falls from rest through a vertical distance of 20 m and reaches ground with a velocity of 10 m/s. The work done by air resistance is (g = 9.8 m/s2)
Options
A.+730 J
B.-730 J
C.+980 J
D.-930 J
Solution
WC + WnC + Wext = ᐃK
mgh + War + 0 =
mv2 - 0
War =
× 5(10)2 - 5 × 9.8 × 20
= 250 - 980 = - 730 J
mgh + War + 0 =
mv2 - 0War =
× 5(10)2 - 5 × 9.8 × 20= 250 - 980 = - 730 J
