at potential energy is acquired by a hammer with a mass of 0.75 kg when raised 0.35 m?
a
2.58 joules
b
2.14 joules
c
0 Newtons
d
0.2625 joules
e
2.34 Newtons
The potential energy acquired by the hammer can be calculated using the formula:
Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height
Given:
Mass of the hammer (m) = 0.75 kg
Height (h) = 0.35 m
Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2 (approx)
Potential Energy = 0.75 * 9.8 * 0.35
Potential Energy = 2.5575 joules
Rounding to two decimal places, the answer is approximately 2.56 joules.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
a) 2.58 joules
