The equation for potential energy is denoted as; 

Pe = mgh,

where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;

h = (Pe)/(mg)

Plug in your given units, and solve!





Post-check:

h = Pe/mg

h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)

h = appr. 49.5 meters

Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.

What happens when you want to move the boat forward? You pull the oars toward yourself.Explain why you do this.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

You pull on the oars. By the third law, the oars push back on your hands, but that’s irrelevant to the motion of the boat. The other end of each oar (the blade) pushes against the water. By the third law, the water pushes back on the oars, pushing the boat forward.
