A hammer has a mass of 2.0 kg and is on a table 0.7 m from the ground. What is the gravitational potential energy for the hammer?

Respuesta :

Answer:

13.72 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

GPE = 2 × 9.8 × 0.7

We have the final answer as

13.72 J

Hope this helps you
