If a crane worker lifts a crate with a mass of 200 kg from the ground to a

shipping container that is 45 meters off the ground, by how much has the

worker increased the gravitational potential energy of the crate? (Recall that g

= 9.8 m/s2)

A. 88,200 J

B. 31,900 J

C. 63,500 u

D. 48,100 J

    A. 88,200 J

    Explanation:

    Given data,

    The mass of the crate, m = 200 kg

    The height of the shipping container, h = 45 m

    The gravitational of a body is possessed by the body due to the virtue of its position.

    The formula for gravitational potential energy is,

    P. E = mgh joules

    Substituting the values

    P. E = 200 x 9.8 x 45

    = 88,200 J

    Hence, the gravitational potential energy of the crate is, P. E = 88,200 J
