What potential energy is acquired by a hammer with a mass of 0.75 kg when raised 0.35 m?
P.E. = m x g x h
m: mass
g: Gravitational Acceleration
(9.8 m/s^2)
h: Height
a. 2.34 Newtons
b. 0 Newtons
c. 2.14 joules
d. 0.2625 joules
e. 2.58 joules
To find the potential energy acquired by the hammer, we can use the formula:
P.E. = m x g x h
m = 0.75 kg (mass of the hammer)
g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)
h = 0.35 m (height)
P.E. = 0.75 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x 0.35 m
P.E. = 2.57 joules
Therefore, the potential energy acquired by the hammer is 2.57 joules.
