A 30 g spoon is lifted above a table and has 0.062 J of potential energy. How high is it?

Answer 1

Hi there!

We know that:

U (Potential energy) = mgh

We are given the potential energy, so we can rearrange to solve for h (height):

U/mg = h

g = 9.81 m/s²

m = 30 g ⇒ 0.03 kg

0.062/(0.03 · 9.81) = 0.211 m
