Answer:
The mass of the cat is 4.534 kg
Explanation:
Given
gravitational potential energy [tex]PE_{G}[/tex] = 88.9 J
Height h = 2.0 m
To find: mass of the cat
We know that the gravitational potential energy is given by
[tex]PE_{G}[/tex] = mgh, where
m = mass of body
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
h = height above ground
Hence , mass m = [tex]\frac{PE_{G}}{gh}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{88.9}{9.8 x 2.0}[/tex]
= 4.534 kg
Hence the mass of the cat is 4.534 kg
