How much GPE, in Joules, does a 126 kg object have if it is sitting on a shelf 3 meters above the
ground?
Please note the following:
• Use g= 9.8 m/s2 for gravity
• Do not use commas in your answer to show place value.
Do not use units in your answer.
• As you work, please round to the nearest hundredth.
• Round your final answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer:

Ep = 3704.4 J

Explanation:

Data:

  • Mass (m) = 126 kg
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Height (h) = 3 m
  • Potential Energy (Ep) = ?

Use formula:

  • Ep = m * g * h

Replace:

  • Ep = 126 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 3 m

Multiply, but it tells us that the units should not be used in the answer, so we solve it as follows:

  • Ep = 3704.4

What is the GPE?

The GPE is 3704.4 Joules.
