Question

multiple choice question
relative to the floor, a 1.5 - kg object that is located 3.0 m off of the floor has ______ j of gravitational potential energy.
o 45
o 88
o 44
o 22

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for gravitational potential energy

The formula for gravitational potential energy is \(U = mgh\), where \(m\) is the mass, \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (\(g = 9.8\space m/s^{2}\)), and \(h\) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(m = 1.5\space kg\), \(h=3.0\space m\), and \(g = 9.8\space m/s^{2}\).
