GPE is the gravitational Potential Energy which is given by mgh.
mg is the gravitational force(a force) and h is the height of the object(or distance of the object from earth's surface)
SO GPE = mg (force) x h (distance)
<span>Hydroelectric energy uses the movement of water to spin a turbine and produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned as an energy source, which results in emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur. Coal use is associated with waste products both from the mining process to acquire the coal and also from the actual use of coal itself. Hydroelectric energy does not involve waste, but does pose potential problems to waterways. Coal use is more common than the use of hydroelectric energy.</span>
First, we convert the given amount of energy into joules.
1 kJ = 1000 joules
2.2125 kJ = 2,212.5 Joules
Each kilocalorie contains 4,184 Joules
Kilocalories = 2,212.5 / 4,182
Kilocalories = 0.529
1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories
0.529 kilocalories = 529 calories
