Question

A 15.2 kg mass has a gravitational potential energy of -342 J. How high from the ground is it? Group of answer choices GPE cannot be negative 2.3 m 22.5 m 530 m

Answer 1

A. The height above the ground reached by the mass is 2.3 m.

Height traveled by the mass

P.E = mgh

where;

• m is mass
• h is height reached by the object
• g is acceleration due to gravity

h = P.E/mg

h = (342)/(15.2 x 9.8)

h = 2.3 m

Thus, the height above the ground reached by the mass is 2.3 m.
