Question

a 0.2 kg disc is being held 1.6 meters above the ground. how much gravitational potential energy does the disc have? remember : $e_{g}=mgh$ $g = 10 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$ $e_{g}=?j$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the values

Given \(m = 0.2\space kg\), \(g=10\space m/s^{2}\), \(h = 1.6\space m\)

Step2: Substitute into the formula

\(E_{g}=mgh=(0.2)(10)(1.6)\)

Step3: Calculate the result

\((0.2)(10)(1.6)=3.2\)

Answer:

\(3.2\)
