The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
  • m = mass of the cat
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = First height
  • h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 15 kg
  • H = 2.5 m
  • h = 1.3 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
  • ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J

S: 198 m 
v=39 m/s 
u=0
t=? 
a=?

v²=u²+2as
(39)²=(0)²+2(a)(198) 
1521=396a
1521/396=a
3.84 m/s^2 = a
