What is the net work done by gravitational force when a 4.23 x 105 hg container drops from a 2.37 x 105 mm tall building. (Assuming Air resistance = 1.30 x 105 N)
Added by Ofentse M.
Step 1
First, we need to convert the mass of the container from hectograms (hg) to kilograms (kg) and the height of the building from millimeters (mm) to meters (m). Mass conversion: 1 hg = 0.1 kg Height conversion: 1 mm = 0.001 m Show moreā¦

How much work is done against the gravitational force on a 5.0 -kg briefcase when it is carried from the ground floor to the roof of the Empire State Building, a vertical climb of $380 \mathrm{m} ?$
A raindrop of mass $3.35 \times 10^{-5}$ kg falls vertically at constant speed under the influence of gravity and air resistance. Model the drop as a particle. As it falls $100 \mathrm{m},$ what is the work done on the raindrop (a) by the gravitational force and (b) by air resistance?
