13. Potential energy is there store energy for when it's needed. If an object has a mass of 30 kg and a height of 25 meters, what's the potential energy ? The equatioh is E p =mgh .

Respuesta :

Answer:

7350 J

Explanation:

The potential energy stored in an object is

[tex]E_p = mgh[/tex]

where

m is its mass

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

In this problem:

m = 30 kg is the mass of the object

[tex]g=9.8 m/s^2[/tex]

h = 25 m is the height

Substituting,

[tex]E_p = (30)(9.8)(25)=7350 J[/tex]
