Question

Give one example when it might be important to know how much gravitational potential energy is stored by an object. Why is it important?

Answer 1

Bowling ball on a shelf.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say you won a bowling competition and wanted to display the ball on top of a book case. After trying for a while, you finally get it to stay in place without rolling. You may think it'll stay, but that ball still has potential energy, meaning it could fall off and hurt someone.

Answer 2

I know this is super late but I have the answer and the screenshot

One example could be when an airplane is flying in the air the higher it is the more gravitational pull there is and if the engines are not working the airplane will come down at a faster speed. It is important to know this because this could cause lots of danger to people and everyone on the plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

And there you go have a great day!

don't forget to reword this because then that would be plagiarism so goodluck!
