Question

‏What is the potential energy in joules of a 12 kg ( mass ) at 25 m above a datum plane ?

Answer 1

Answer:

E = 2940 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass, m = 12 kg

Position at which the object is placed, h = 25 m

We need to find the potential energy of the mass. It is given by the formula as follows :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

$E=12\times 9.8\times 25\\\\E=2940\ J$

So, the potential energy of the mass is 2940 J.
