Calculate the potential energy of a 300 gram volleyball that is 15 meters in the air. (g = 9.8 m/s2)

explain why if you can, thank you :)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The book gravitational potential energy is 44.1 Joules fear

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of volleyball, m = 300g = 300 ÷ 1000 = 0.3 kg

height,   h = 15 m

To Find:

Potential Energy = ?

Solution:

Gravitational Potential Energy :

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.

Formula is given by

[tex]\textrm{Gravitational Potential Energy}= m\times g\times h[/tex]

Where,

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height

Substituting the values we get

[tex]\textrm{Gravitational Potential Energy}= 0.3\times 9.8\times 15\\\\\textrm{Gravitational Potential Energy}=44.1 Joules[/tex]

The book gravitational potential energy is 44.1 Joules.
