Question

A monkey weighing 50kg climbs up a vertical tree of height 300m. How much potential energy does it gain?[Take, g=10m/s²]

(1). 1.5×10⁶J
(2). 1.5×10⁵J
(3). 15×10⁵J
(4). 15×10⁶J

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential energy gained by the monkey can be calculated using the formula:

potential energy = mass x gravity x height

where the mass is 50 kg, the height is 300 m, and the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s².

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

potential energy = 50 kg x 10 m/s² x 300 m = 150,000 J

Therefore, the potential energy gained by the monkey is 1.5 x 10⁵ J.

Hence, the answer is option (2) 1.5×10⁵J.

Answer 2

1.5×10^5J

Step-by-step explanation:

p.E=mgh

m=50kg

h=300m

g=10m/s^2

so,

p E=50×10×300

p E=150000

thus;p.E=1.5×10^5J
