Question

An object has a gravitational potential energy that is 800 Joules. Its

height above ground is 2.25 meters. What is its mass?

Answer 1

36.28 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Gravitational potential energy of object = 800 J

Height from ground = 2.245 m

Mass of object = ?

Solution:

Formula:

P.E = mgh

g =acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

by putting values,

800 J = m× 9.8 m/s² ×2.25 m

J = kgm²/s²

800 kgm²/s² = m× 22.05 m²/s²

m = 800 kgm²/s² /22.05 m²/s²

m = 36.28 kg
