Question

A 4.1 object is lifted to a height of 4.5m above the surface of Earth.What is the potential energy of the object due to gravity?​

Answer 1

P = 180.81 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a object, m = 4.1 kg

It is lifted to a height of 4.5 m

We need to find the potential energy of the object due to gravity. It is given by the formula as follows :

P = mgh Where g is acceleration due to gravity

P = 4.1 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 4.5 m

P = 180.81 J

Hence, the potential energy is 180.81 J.
