As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by

here we have
m = mass = 120 kg

h = height = 8.2 m
now from above formula


so above is the gravitational potential energy of the couch
Answer:
Magnets interfere with compasses because compasses use the magnetic field to locate NESW (north east south west)
Explanation:
False, as an object falls its potential energy turns into kinetic energy thus decreasing the potential energy.
The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:

To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
