Question

ANSWERED: An object with a massive 5 kg is thrown with an initial velocity of 6 m/s. If the object has an initial height of 10 meters above the ground, what is the magnitude of the initial gravitational potential energy of the object? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
Answer: 490 joules.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The velocity is not needed. (its needed to find kinetic energy but its irrelevant to the question)

Potential energy = Mgh

Mass=5kg, height=10meters, g=9.8

P.e=5×9.8×10

=5×98

=490 joules
