A 4,000-kg wrecking ball is hoisted 20 m above Earth's surface. What will the wrecking ball's gravitational potential energy be?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

784,000 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

GPE = 4000 × 9.8 × 20 = 784,000

We have the final answer as

784,000 J

Hope this helps you
