Question

Solve the following problems: (only for genius)


1) Calculate the potential energy of a stone of mass 500g raised to a height of 12m above the ground. Assume that acceleration due to gravity g= 10m/s²

Give the correct answer, I will mark u as branliest. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

hope this helps you better

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given :

• Mass (m) = 500 g
• Height (h) = 12 m
• Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

To find :

• Potential energy (P.E)

Solution :

Potential energy = mgh

Where we have,

• m = mass
• g = acceleration due to gravity
• h = height

Substituting the values,

⇒ m = 500g = 500/1000 = 0.5 Kg

⇒ h = 12 m

⇒ g = 10 m/s²

• mgh
• 0.5 × 10 × 12
• 5 × 12
• 60 J

∴ 60 J is the potential energy.
