Question

Calculate the gravitational potential energy of an object with 100 kg as mass, colocated to 40 m of height. (g = 10 m/s^2)

Answer 1

What ever, thanks for the points

Answer 2

Hello!!

For calculate the GPE let's applicate the formula:

`\boxed{GPE = m g h}`

`\textbf{Being:}`

`\sqrt{}` GPE = Gravitational potential energy = ?

`\sqrt{}` m = Mass = 100 kg

`\sqrt{}` g = Gravity = 10 m/s²

`\sqrt{}` h = Height = 40 m

⇒
`\text{Then let's \textbf{replace it according} we information:}`

`GPE = 100 \ kg * 10 \ m / s ^(2) * 40 \ m`

⇒
`\text{Let's resolve it: }`

`GPE = 40000 \ J`

`\textbf{Result:}\\\text{The gravitational potential energy is \textbf{40 000 Joules}}`
