Question

Find the energy possessed by an object of mass 10 kg when it is at a height of 6m above the ground. [g = 9.8 ms-1]

Answer 1

Answer:-

Potential Energy of 588 Joule is possessed by object which is of mass 10 kg.

_________________________________

Solution :-

Energy is the capacity to be able to do a work, hence the energy possessed by the object above a certain height be calculated as follows :

As we know that the Energy possessed by the object at a certain height without motion, is the potential energy. And potential energy formula is,

Potential Energy = m g h

As given, mass m = 10 kg

Height h = 6 m

Potential Energy = 10 kg ×9.8×6m

Potential energy = 588 Joule

Answer 2

Answer:

h=6m

m=10 kg

g=9.8m/s^2

potential energy=mgh

=10×9.8×6

=588.0

=588 Joule
