ok let's say i have a box that's 50kg. its 2 meters high. so i plug and chug those into the equation and i get 980 joules. 50*9.8*2=980. ok sooo this box has 980 joules potenetial work.
the question i have is since 1 joule equals a watt would it be safe to say that what we have is almost a kilowatt.(considering if you could convert with 100% efficiency which i know you cant) but would it convert like that or is there something I am missing? also the total work that could be done is an amount of energy. and watts are usually defined as a rate soooo how would that convert. thanks in advance.
