Question

What is the acceleration due to gravity on another planet if the potential energy of an object on

that planet is 600 J, the mass of that object is 2 kg, and the height of that object is 3 meters?

Answer 1

g = 66.7 ms^-2 (3 s.f.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential Energy -> PE

m -> mass

g -> acceleration due to gravity

h -> height

using the formula, PE = mgh

600 = 3 × g × 3

9g = 600

g = 600/9

g = 66.666

g = 66.7 ms^-2 (3 significant figures)
