On Earth, the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. Calculate Ep for a 4 kg bowling ball have that is being held 2 m above the ground.

Respuesta :

Answer:

80 J

Explanation:

Ep = mgh

Ep = (4 kg) (10 m/s²) (2 m)

Ep = 80 J

80 J is potential energy.

What is potential energy?

In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.

According to question,

Gravitational field strength = 10  N/kg

Mass (m) = 4kg

Height (h) = 2m

By the formula of potential energy:

Ep = mgh

Ep = (4 kg) (10 m/s²) (2 m)

Ep = 80 J

Therefore,

80 J is potential energy of bowling ball.
