What potential energy is acquired by a hammer with a mass of 0.75 KG when raised 0.35 m? PE= M X G X H
M= mass
G= gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)
H= height
A) 2.34 N
B) 2.58 J
C) 0.2625 J
D)0 N
E) 2.14 J
To find the potential energy acquired by the hammer, we can use the formula:
PE = m * g * h
Given:
m = 0.75 kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2
h = 0.35 m
Substituting these values into the formula:
PE = 0.75 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.35 m
PE ≈ 2.57 J
Therefore, the correct answer is B) 2.58 J.
