Question

What is the potential energy of an object 20 m in the air with a mass of 600 kg?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ep = 117600 J

Explanation:

Data:

• Mass (m) = 600 kg
• Height (h) = 20 m
• Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
• Potential Energy (Ep) = ?

Use formula:

• Ep = m * g * h

Replace:

• Ep = 600 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 20 m

Multiply operations, and units:

• Ep = 117600 J

What is the potential energy?

The potential energy is 117600 Joules.
