Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

The gravitational potential energy of the object is B) 84 Joules

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object by virtue of its position in a gravitational field.

Near the Earth's surface, the GPE of an object is calculated as:

$GPE=mgh$

where:

m is the mass of the object

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object relative the surface

For the object in this problem:

m = 5.24 kg

h = 1.63 m

So, its GPE is

$GPE=(5.24)(9.8)(1.63)=84 J$
