Question

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 150kg object suspended 5m above the earth's surface.

Answer 1

7350J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the object = 150kg

Height above the earth surface = 5m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is the energy due to rest of a body and its is given by:

     U = mgh

where m is the mass of the body

           g is the acceleration due to gravity of the body

            h is the height of the body

 U = 150 x 9.8  x 5 = 7350J
