A can of soup has a mass of 0.35 kg. The can is moved from a shelf that is 1.2 m off the ground to a shelf that is 0.40
m off the ground. How does the gravitational potential energy of the can change?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.744 difference

Explanation:

Use Pe=mgh

So when the soup is at a height of 1.2m, its Pe is (.35kg)(9.8m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex])(1.2m)=4.116

when the soup is at a height of .40m, its Pe is (.35kg)(9.8m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex])(.40m)=1.372

So youre looking at a 2.744 difference in pe
