Question

A baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby weighs 20

kg. The carriage has
energy. Calculate it

Answer 1

Energy in carriage (Potential energy) = 4,116 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of baby = 20 kg

Height = 21 m

Find:

Energy in carriage (Potential energy)

Computation:

The energy accumulated in an object as a result of its location relative to a neutral level is known as potential energy.

In carriage accumulated energy is potential energy.

Energy in carriage (Potential energy) = mgh

Energy in carriage (Potential energy) = (20)(9.8)(21)

Energy in carriage (Potential energy) = 4,116 J
