From the calculations, the mass of the pole is 82 Kg.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The term potential energy has to do with the energy that is possessed by a body by virtue of its position.

Given that;

height = 6.15 m

PE = 4942 J

mass = ??

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now

PE = mgh

m = PE/gh

m = 4942 J/9.8 m/s^2 * 6.15 m

m = 82 Kg

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 130.8 g. A graduated cylinder initially contains 47.7 mL water. When the jewelry is subme

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: The density of this piece of jewelry is $8.90g/cm^3$

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Mass of piece of jewellery = 130.8 g

Density of piece of jewellery = ?

Volume of piece of jewellery =( 62.4-47.7 ) ml = 14.7 ml = $14.7cm^3$ $1cm^3=1ml$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Density of piece of jewellery}=\frac{130.8g}{14.7cm^3}=8.90g/cm^3$

Thus density of this piece of jewelry is $8.90g/cm^3$
