Question

A ball held 2.0 meters above the floor has 59 joules of potential energy. The ball’s mass is about

kilograms.
(Use g = 9.8 N/kg.)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of ball = 3.0102 Kg.Explanation:Potential energy at height h is given byPE = mgh where m is the mass of the bodyg is the the acceleration due to gravity whose value is 9.8 m/s^2h is the height from surface levelPE is potential energyIn the problem given h = 2 metersPE = 59 joules59 = m*9.8*2=> m = 59/9.8*2 = 3.0102 KgThus, mass of ball is 3.0102 Kg.
