The gravitational potential energy of a basketball : PE = 18.375 J
Further explanation
Given
height = h = 3 m
mass = 0.625 kg
Required
The potential energy
Solution
The energy produced from its position is called potential energy (PE)
which can be formulated as:
PE = m. g. h
(g = 9.8 m/s²)
Input the value :
PE = 0.625 x 9.8 x 3
PE = 18.375 J
