A mass of 5kg is taken from the ground to the height of 100m. Find the potential energy of the object
To find the potential energy of an object, you can use the formula: potential energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height.
Given:
Mass (m) = 5 kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2 (typical value on Earth)
Height (h) = 100 m
Using the formula, we can calculate the potential energy:
Potential energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height
= 5 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 100 m
= 4900 kg·m^2/s^2
Therefore, the potential energy of the object is 4900 Joules (J).
