Question

The boulder shown below has a weight of 10,000 N & is 500 m above the ground. How much gravitational potential energy does the boulder have?

Answer 1

5,000,000 joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for Potential Energy =mgh

mass*gravity*height

mass=weight ÷ by gravity

10000÷10= 1000

1000×10×500m=5,000,000 joules
