A 5 kg rock is raised 28 m above the ground level. What is the change in its potential energy?

1 answer:

3 0

Let's assume that ground level is the height 0 meters. The change in potential energy is going to be gravitational potential energy, which is given by PE=mgh.
ΔPE=mgh-mgy
=mg(h-y)
=50(28-0)
=1400 J

<span>The momentum of the basketball is three times that of the softball. Momentum equals mass times velocity. Therefore, if the basketball and softball are moving at the same velocity, and the basketball has three times the mass of the softball, the basketball has three times the momentum of the softball.</span>
