How do you find the work done by gravity given the weight and distance that an object falls?

A block weighing 50 Newtons falls 45 meters before hitting the ground. How much work does gravity do on the block during its fall?

Summary

  1. N- Newtons
  2. d- distance
  3. m- meters
  4. Wg- work done by gravity
  5. Fg with an arrow- force of gravity on the block
  6. J- Joules

Notes

    1. d- distance
    2. m- meters
    3. Fg with an arrow- the force of gravity on the block
    4. N- Newtons
    1. Wg- work done by gravity on the block
    1. W- Work
    2. F- Force
