Why does 30 kg mass at the top of a hill have more potential energy?

1 answer:

6 0

So when it comes to Gravitational Potential Energy the higher an object of mass is the more energy it has as the equation for EPG is = MGH so the M is Mass of the object , the G is the gravitational constant which on earth is roughly 9.8 m/s and the H is the height of the object. So the greater the H value is the more energy you'll have. An example would be using your 30kg mass say at a height of 10 meters would have the EPG of 2940 Joules of energy since EPG= MGH so EPG= (30)(9.8)(10) . Now if the object was at a height of 20 meters the EPG would be greater as EPG=(30)(9.8)(20) which would be 5880 joules of energy

lesya [120]

Answer:

197.76 m

Explanation:

r = Radius of the path = 20.6 km = $20.6\times 10^3\ m$

$\theta$ = The angle subtended by moon = $9.6\times 10^{-3}\ rad$

Distance traveled is given by

$s=r\times\theta$

$\Rightarrow s=20.6\times 10^3\times 9.6\times 10^{-3}$

$\Rightarrow s=197.76\ m$

The distance traveled by the jet is 197.76 m
