A crate of mass 500kg is raised to a height of 10ft from the floor. What is the GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy) it has acquired with respect to the ground.
The formula for GPE is GPE=mgh. M is for mass, G is for acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s/s) and H is for the height. GPE= mgh GPE= 500 (kg)*9.8 (m/s/s)* 10 (feet) GPE= 49,000
