NEED HELP ASAP! DUE NOW!!

The formula for this type of energy is PE = mass x Height
A 1 kg rock is sitting at a height of 100 meters.
What is its potential energy?
PE = 1 x 100. PE = 100 Use the same formula to calculate the potential energy of the same rock at each of the following heights and put the answers in the chart.

Height (m) Potential Energy (J)

0
1
20
50
100

Answer: Its 981 Joules

Explanation: ( I MIGHT BE LATE IM SO SORRY. 2 YEARS AFTER. )

Here. ill tell the question in simpler form: This question is asking to find gravitational energy with knowns of mass and height. Quite easy, yes?

Ok so, This is the formula used for problems related to Gravitational energy. Its U= m g h

Meanings of the letters: (u) = gravitational energy (m) = mass (h) = height (g) = gravitational acceleration constant

Finally, you will possibly want to change those Kg and M to Joules, thats the main part exactly. Then your all done! hope this helped all the 6th grade science.

And enjoy :)
