Answer:

Work done against gravity in lifting an object becomes potential energy of the object-Earth system. The change in gravitational potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh, with h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity.

Lifting an object and becomes potential energy of the object (Earth system). The change in gravity potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh.

With h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity.

I hope this helped :T

What is the weight (in pounds) of a 7.0 kilogram bowling ball on earths surface

alekssr [168]

A bowling ball of 7.0 kg will be weighed around 15.54 lbs (pounds) at the surface of the Earth.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The weight of the bowling ball as given in the question,

$W=7.0 \mathrm{kg}$

Since we know that the force of gravity acting on an object at the surface of the Earth is 2.22 lb i.e. the object will be weighed as 2.22 lb at the surface of the Earth. Similarly, here in this case;

The weight of the bowling ball,

$W=7.0 \mathrm{kg} \times 2.22 \frac{\mathrm{lb}}{\mathrm{kg}}$
