What is the gravitational potential energy of a # 4 kg# object on a shelf # 2/5 m # high?

1 Answer

#PE=15.68" "#joules

Explanation:

formula for potential energy PE

#PE=mgh#

where #m=mass, g=(9.8 m)/(sec^2), h=height#

#PE=4(9.8)(2/5)#

#PE=15.68" "#joules

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
