Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-9.98\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using the work-energy theorem, the total work done by all forces equals the change in kinetic energy:

\(W_{g} + W_{r} = \Delta K\)

\(mgh + W_{r} = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0\)

Substituting the given values (\(m = 10^{-3}\) kg, \(g = 10\) m/s\(^2\), \(h = 1000\) m, \(v = 5\) m/s):

\((10^{-3})(10)(1000) + W_{r} = \dfrac{1}{2}(10^{-3})(5)^2\)

\(10 + W_{r} = 0.0125\)

\(W_{r} = 0.0125 - 10 = -9.9875\) J

\(W_{r} \approx -9.98\) J

Answer: \(-9.98\)
