Homework Statement
A creane lifts a 1500 kg car straight 20 m [up]
How much potential energy does the car gain?
How much energy does the crane transfer to the car?
How much work does the crane do?
The Attempt at a Solution
How much potential energy does the car gain?
Eg = mgh
Eg = (1500 kg)(9.8m/s^2)(20m)
Eg = 294000 J
How much energy does the crane transfer to the car?
Eg = - 294000 J
How much work does the crane do?
I am not sure
