A tennis player hits a 58 g tennis ball so that it goes straight up and reaches a maximum height of 6.17 m. How much work does gravity do on the ball on the way up?

Respuesta :

if it goes up 6.17 meters, then the displacement is 6.17 meters.
the force will be as you said mgh.
lets multiply that out
.058*9.8*6.17=3.507..
work=3.507*6.17=21.638..kg/meter
