Question

URGENT )If you drive your 1,000 kg car from sea level up to the mountain, which is 366 m above sea level, how much will you have increased your car's potential energy?(consider : g=10m/s2)

1 point

a) 366,000 J

b) 3,660,000 J

c) 2.73 J

d) 20.73 J​

Answer 1

(B) the increase in the car's potential energy is 3,660,000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 1,000 kg

height through the car was drove, h = 366 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

The increase in the car's potential energy is calculated as;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 1000 x 10 x 366

P.E = 3,660,000 J

Therefore, the increase in the car's potential energy is 3,660,000 J
