Question

A 4 kg bowling bowl is sitting on a table 1 meter off the ground. How much potential energy does it have?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf P.E. = 39.2\ Joules}$

Explanation:

Given Data:

Mass = m = 4 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = 1 m

Required:

Potential Energy = P.E. = ?

Formula:

P.E. = mgh

Solution:

P.E. = (4)(9.8)(1)

P.E. = 39.2 Joules

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!
