The potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the food. When those bonds break up during the metabolic processes, the energy is released. After that, that energy is stored in the Adenosine Triphosphate bonds aka ATP. The simplest way to think is to think of food as the tightly bound atoms. When the chemical bonds between those atoms break, the stored energy in that food is released.
From the information given, cannon ball weighs 40 kg and has a potential energy of 14000 J.
We need to find its height.
We will use the formula P.E = mgh
Therefore h = P.E / mg
where P.E is the potential energy,
m is mass in kg,
g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)
h is the height of the object's displacement in meters.
h = P.E. / mg
h = 14000 / 40 × 9.8
h = 14000 / 392
h = 35.7
Therefore the canon ball was 35.7 meters high.
Shortwave radios have a higher frequency than ultraviolet light
