Question

gpe and ke worksheet #2

1. what is the gpe of a 3 kg block 10 m above the floor?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for gravitational potential energy (GPE)

The formula for GPE is \(GPE = mgh\), where \(m\) is the mass (\(m = 3\space kg\)), \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (\(g= 9.8\space m/s^{2}\)), and \(h\) is the height (\(h = 10\space m\)).

Step2: Substitute the values into the formula

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Answer:

\(294\space J\)
