Question

A snowball that will be used to build a snowman is at the top of a only hill. If the

potential energy of the snowball is 520 J and the mass of the snowball is 2.2 kg,
what is the height of the hill?

Answer 1

h = 24.11 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The potential energy of the snowball is 520 J

The mass of the snowball is 2.2 kg

We need to find the height of the hill. The potential energy of an object is given by the formula as follows :

`E=mgh`

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is height of the hill

`h=(E)/(mg)\\\\h=(520)/(2.2* 9.8)\\\\h=24.11\ m`

So, the height of the hill is 24.11 m.
