Answer:
1. G.P.E = 24 J
2. center of mass
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 2kg
Height, h = 1.2m
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 N/kg or m/s².
To find the gravitational potential energy;
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

Where;
- G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
- m represents the mass of an object.
- g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
- h represents the height measured in meters.
Substituting into the formula, we have;

G.P.E = 23.52 to 2 S.F = 24 Joules.
Translation kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a system due to the motion of the system’s center of mass. The center of mass is typically where the mass of the object or particle is concentrated.
The material that the snails are moving on affects their speed. On a smooth material, (petri dish) the snails moved the fastest. On a rough material (sandpaper) the snails moved the slowest. On dirt, a compromise between smooth and rough, the snails moved at a medium pace. The material and possibly friction affect this.
