Question

A crate of 890 kg gets raised to a height of 2.1m. Calculate the crate's gravitational potential energy.​

Answer 1

Gravitational potential energy = mass x height x gravity

So you would do 890 x 2.1 x gravity (which is 9.8 on earth)

Answer 2

18,316.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for GPE is mgh, where

M = Mass of the object

G = Acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth)

H = Height above ground

890 × 9.8 × 2.1 = 18,316.2
