A basket of fruits, which is on a top of a 1.5m high table has a GPE of 44.12. What is the mass of the basket of fruits?​​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mass of the basket of fruits ≈ 3 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object as a result of its height.

The formula is

GPE = m . g . h where m = mass, g = gravitational force (9.8 N/kg) and h = height (All measures are in metric system)

Therefore m = GPE/(g.h)

Here GPE = 44.12 and h = 1.5m
mass = 44.12 ÷ (9.8 x 1.5) = 44.12 ÷ 14.7 ≈ 3 kg
