Question

A cat with a mass of 5 kg sits on a branch that is 26 m off the ground. What is

its gravitational potential energy? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2

A. 872 J
B. 1274 J
C. 638 J
D. 244 J

Answer 1

1274 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

P. E= mgh

where m = 5 kg

g = 9.8m/s²

h = 26m

P. E = 5*26*9.8

=1274 J.
