Calculate the potential energy possessed by a 45kg body resting on a 60m tall building.

Sagot :

The potential energy : PE = 26,460 J

Further explanation  

Energy can be interpreted as the ability to do work  

There are several examples of energy  

Potential energy is the energy that an object has because of the location of that object. Usually, it is related to the force of gravity  

PE = m . g . h

g = acceleration due to gravity ,(m/s²)  

h = height , (m)  

m = mass, (kg)  

Given

mass = m = 45 kg

height = h = 60 m

Required

The potential energy

Solution

Input the value (g = 9.8 m/s²) :

PE = 45 kg x 9.8 m/s² x 60 m

PE = 26,460 J
