\huge{ \mathfrak{ \underline{question : }}}

A body weighing 250 grams was dropped from a helicopter flying at an altitude of 100 meters. Determine the potential energy of this body.


\huge{ \mathfrak{given : }}

  • mass =
    0.250 kg
  • acceleration =
    10 m/s^2
  • height =
    100 m


\huge{ \mathfrak{ \underline{ Answer \: \: ✓ }}}


\boxed{ \mathbf{potential \: \: energy = mgh}}


  • 0.250 * 10 * 100


  • {250}{}

potential energy = 250 joules
