Answer:
G.P.E = 5.292 Joules
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 0.6 kg
Height = 0.9 m
To find the gravitational potential energy;
Gravitational potential energy (GPE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;
[tex] G.P.E = mgh[/tex]
Where,
G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
m represents the mass of an object.
g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
h represents the height measured in meters.
But we know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²
G.P.E = 0.6*9.8*0.9
G.P.E = 5.292 Joules
