Answer:
Given , mass = 12.0kg
height = 13m
acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s
1.ans
Potential energy = mass×acceleration due to gravity×height
Potential energy = 12kg×10m/s×13m
Potential energy = 1,560J
2.ans
Remember this when a body is above the ground potential energy is equal to kinetic energy.
Potential energy = kinetic energy
kinetic energy = ½× mass×(velocity)²
1560J = ½×12kg×v²
1560J = 6kg× v²
1560kgms-2 - 6kg = v²
v² = 1,554m/s²
K.E = ½×m×v²
K.E =( ½)(12kg)(1,554m/s²)
K.E = 9,324J
