Question

if a 2.00 kg ball is thrown straight upward and its maximum height is 25.51 m. approximately how much potential energy (pe) does the ball possess when it reaches its maximum height? (g = 9.8 m/s²) a 400 j b 500 j c 100 j d 200 j

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for gravitational potential energy

The formula for gravitational potential energy is \( PE = mgh \), where \( m \) is the mass, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \( m = 2.00\ kg \), \( g = 9.8\ m/s^{2} \), and \( h = 25.51\ m \).
