Answer:

100,000kgm^2/s^2

I Hope It Helps

Step-by-step explanation:


GPE = mgh\\GPE = Gravitational Energy\\m= 100kg\\g = 10m/s^2\\h = 100m\\GPE = 100*10*100\\GPE = 100,000 kg m^2 / s^2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for gravitational potentional energy is mass x gravitational field strength x change in height.

We are going to assume that g.f.s. is 10 N/kg

mass = 100 kg

change in height = 100

Therefore if we plug these value into the equation we get 100 x 100 x 10 = 100000
