How much potential energy did the bowling ball have when you held it to your face?
PE = mgh
The mass of the bowling ball is 5.5 kg if you had the ball 1.7 m above the ground what was its potential energy
To calculate the potential energy, substitute the given values into the formula PE = mgh:
PE = (5.5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(1.7 m)
PE = 88.66 J
Therefore, the bowling ball had 88.66 Joules of potential energy when held 1.7 meters above the ground.
