The answer is 117.6 J

The potential energy of the object is actually its stored energy:

<span>E = m · g · h
E - the potential energy of the object,
m - the mass of the object,
g - acceleration due to gravity,
h - the height of the object.

m = 4 kg
g = 9.8 m/s</span>²
h = 3 m

E = 4 * 9.8 * 3 = 117.6 J

guapka [62]

A. The force that causes the water on the lettuce to come off the lettuce and go to the walls of the bowl is centrifugal force.

<h3>What is centrifugal force?</h3>

Centrifugal force is an inertial force that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.

This force is directed away from the center around which the body is moving.

<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>

This is force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center around which the body is moving.

While centripetal force is directed towards to the center, the centrifugal force is directed away.

Thus, the force that causes the water on the lettuce to come off the lettuce and go to the walls of the bowl is centrifugal force.
