suppose all of the apples have a mass of 0.10 kg. if one of the apples in the bowl (c) is 1.0 meter above the ground, what is its potential energy?

0.10 j
9.8 j
0.98 j
1.0 j

Respuesta :

potential energy is P = mass*gravity*height 
given this

0.10kg * 9.81 * 1 = 0.981 ≈ 0.98 j
Potential energy:
E p = m * g * h,  where m = 0.10 kg, g = 9.81 m/s²,  h = 1.0 m;
E p = 0.10 kg * 9.81 m/s² * 1.0 m =  0.981 J ≈ 0.98 J
Answer:
C ) 0.98 J
