Question

An object falls from a height of 12m. The object's potential energy at the top is 50J. Where is the potential energy of the object

25J

Answer 1

the height of the is 6 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

potential energy of the object, P.E = 50 J

Height of fall of the object, H = 12 m

Determine the mass of the object, m

P.E = mgh

m = (P.E) / (gh)

m = (50) / (9.8 x 12)

m = 0.425 kg

Let the height of the object at 25 J = h₂

mgh₂ = 25

h₂ = (25) / (mg)

h₂ = (25) / (0.425 x 9.8)

h₂ = 6 m

Therefore, the height of the object at 25 J is 6 m.
