Question

A 1.2 kg basketball is thrown upwards. What is the potential energy of the basketball at the top of its path if it reaches a height of 15.6 m?

Answer 1

Answer is 183.6 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Physics reference sheet the formula for Potential energy is

(mass) x (gravity) x (height)

Mass= 1.2

Gravity I used is 9.81 (use 10 to get the answer most schools use)

Height= 15.6
