A bricklayer lifts 30 kg of bricks onto a high scaffolding platform.
He lifts 10 kg of bricks at a time and repeats this three times. A mechanical hoist is also capable of lifting all 30 kg of bricks at once onto the same scaffolding platform.
State the term used for the energy gained by the bricks when they are lifted onto the platform.
Compare the energy gained by the 30 kg of bricks when lifted by the bricklayer with the energy gained when they are lifted by the mechanical hoist.
Four physical scenarios are described below. Identify the scenarios in which mechanical work is done by the specified entity:
