Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.
The gravitational potential energy will increase by 423.36 J
<h3>How to determine the potential energy at ground level</h3>
- Mass (m) = 72 kg
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Height (h) = 0 m
- Potential energy at ground level (PE₁) =?
PE = mgh
PE₁ = 72 × 9.8 × 0
PE₁ = 0 J
<h3>How to determine the potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m)</h3>
- Mass (m) = 72 kg
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Height (h) = 0.6 m
- Potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m) (PE₂) =?
PE = mgh
PE₂ = 72 × 9.8 × 0.6
PE₂= 423.36 J
<h3>How to determine the change in potential energy </h3>
- Potential energy at ground level (PE₁) = 0 J
- Potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m) (PE₂) = 423.36 J
- Change in potential energy =?
Change in potential energy = PE₂ - PE₁
Change in potential energy = 423.36 - 0
Change in potential energy = 423.36 J
