Question

At what height is an object that has a mass of 500 N, if its gravitational potential energy is 9800 Joules?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is on a height of 19.6 m.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is expressed through the equation
G.P.E.=mgh or G.P.E.=Wh
where W is the weight of the object in newtons, and h is the height of the object in meters.
I'm assuming that you are talking about an object having a weight of 500 N, and not mass, since mass is measured in kilograms.
So, the object is on a height of
h=
$\frac{ \:G.P.E. \: }{ \: W\: }$

= 
$\frac{ 9800j }{ 500N }$

=19.6 m
