The energy released from condensation in thunderstorms can be very large. Calculate the energy (in J) released into the atmosphe
re for a small storm of radius 2.1 km, assuming that 2.3 cm of rain is precipitated uniformly over this area. (Assume that the rain is precipitated over a circular area and that the density of water is 1,000 kg/m3.)

Answer:
m = 0.51[kg]
Explanation:
Potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height.
where:
Epot = potential energy = 15 [J]
m = mass [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.8 [m/s²]
h = elevation = 3 [m]
Now replacing:
