Question

A 67kg stove is located on the 70th floor of a building (230m above ground). The stove has _______ energy. Calculate it.

Answer 1

Potential energy , because it is defined as the energy held by object because of its position relative to other objects.. It is based on its distance from ground

Given data

mass (m) = 67 kg ,

height (h) = 230 m ,

Potential energy (P.E.) = m. g. h

= 67 × 9.81 × 230

= 151172.1 J

P.E. = 151.18 KJ
