Question

A forklift raises a 72-kg crate onto a shelf 3.6 meters above the floor. How much gravitational potential energy does the crate have relative to the floor?​

Answer 1

Answer:

2540.16 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

GPE = 72 × 9.8 × 3.6 = 2540.16

We have the final answer as

2540.16 J

Hope this helps you
