Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 10 kg mass at a height of 10 m?
  • Step 1: Identify the formula for gravitational potential energy, which is PE = mgh.
  • Step 2: Identify the values needed for the formula: mass (m) = 10 kg, gravitational acceleration (g) = 9.81 m/s², and height (h) = 10 m.
  • Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula: PE = 10 kg * 9.81 m/s² * 10 m.
  • Step 4: Calculate the result: 10 * 9.81 * 10 = 981.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the gravitational potential energy is 981 Joules (J).
