A sled is at rest at the top of a slope 2 m high. The sled has a mass of 45 kg. What is the sled’s potential energy? (Formula: PE = mgh)

The sled's potential energy can be calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the sled, g is the gravitational force, and h is the height of the slope. In this case, the mass is 45 kg, the gravitational force is 9.81 m/s2, and the height of the slope is 2 m. Therefore, the potential energy of the sled is 882.9 Joules (PE = 45 x 9.81 x 2 = 882.9 J).

hope this helped :)
