Question

A meteor falls toward Earth's surface. Given that the acceleration due to

Answer 1

Answer:

E = 147000  J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of meteor, m = 50 kg

The altitude of the meteor, h = 300 m

We need to find the potential energy of the meteor. The formula for the potential energy is given by :

$E=mgh$

Put all the values,

$E=50\times 9.8\times 300\\\\E=147000\ J$

So, the required potential energy is equal to 147000  J.
