Calculate the amount of potential energy a 3 kg can of paint has when it is placed on top of a ladder that is 2.5 m in height
1.2j ?
nope. What is mgh?
mass height gravity?
You are correct, but mgh is equal to the potential energy.
the answer is 73.5 J
a car's speed changes from to travel 325m if your car can 160m/s
what is the average speed from 5s to 10s
To calculate the potential energy of an object, you can use the formula:
Potential Energy (PE) = mass (m) * acceleration due to gravity (g) * height (h)
In this case, the mass of the can of paint is 3 kg, the height of the ladder is 2.5 m, and the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s².
Using the formula, we can calculate the potential energy:
PE = 3 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 2.5 m
PE = 73.5 Joules
Therefore, the amount of potential energy the 3 kg can of paint has when placed on top of a ladder that is 2.5 m in height is 73.5 Joules.
