Question

What is the potential energy of a 2 kg plant that is on a windowsill 1.3 m high

Answer 1

PE= 25.48 J

Step-by-step explanation:

m= 2 kg

h= 1.3 m

PE= ?

m= 2 kg

h= 1.3 m

PE= ?

Answer 2

P.E = 25.48 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 2 Kg

Height = 1.3 m

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

Formula:

P.E = m . g . h

P. E = potential energy

m = mass in kilogram

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now we will put the values in formula.

P.E = m . g . h

P.E = 2 Kg . 9.8 m /s² . 1.3 m

P.E = 25.48 Kg. m² / s²

Kg. m² / s² = J

P.E = 25.48 J
