Question

A 14 kg object loses 525 J of gravitational potential energy. What was the change in height that the object experienced?

Answer 1

We will have the following:

`525J=(14kg)(9.8m/s^2)y\Rightarrow y=(525J)/((14kg)(9.8m/s^2))`
`\Rightarrow y=(375)/(98)m\Rightarrow y=3.826530612\ldots m`
`\Rightarrow y\approx3.8m`

So, it's heigth is approximately 3.8 meters.
