Question

An object on top of a building has a GPE of 23,048j and a mass of 39kg, What is the height of the object

Answer 1

Answer:

59.1 m

Explanation:

The height of the object can be found by using the formula

$h = \frac{p}{mg }$

where

p is the potential energy

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

$h = \frac{23048}{39 \times 10} = \frac{23048}{390} \\ = 59.0974...$

We have the final answer as

59.1 m

Hope this helps you
