A worker lifts a 20.0-kg bucket of concrete from the ground up to the top of a 20.0-m tall building. The bucket is initially at rest, but is traveling at 4.0 m/s when it reaches the top of the building.
What is the minimum amount of work that the worker did in lifting the bucket? A) 3.92 kJ
B) 400 J
C) 560 J
D) 4.08 kJ
E) 160 J
