Answer to Question #108517 in Physics for Aya

Question

You will need to move an 8 kg box from the hallway to the closet in the apartment. You carry the box next to the cabinet. This distance is 5 meters. At the cabinet, you lift the box to a shelf height of 150 cm. How does physics and chemistry relate to this event?

Answer 1

To move the box you need to execute. It takes energy to do the job. The most necessary energy consumed by a person when moving the box is due to the chemical processes that occur in the human body. Therefore, physics and chemistry are linked precisely in the transformation of energy of chemical processes into kinetic.
