A worker assigned to the restoration of the Washington Monument is checking the condition of the stone at the very top of the mo

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

Explanation:

We can find the gravitational potential energy using the following formula.

$GPE=mgh$

Identifying given information.

The nickel has a mass $m=0.005 \,kg$ , and it is a the top of Washington Monument.

The Washington Monument has a height of $h=555 \, ft$ , thus we need to find the equivalence in meters using unit conversion in order to find the gravitational potential energy.
