To calculate the potential energy, substitute the given values into the formula PE = mgh:
PE = (5.5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(1.7 m)
PE = 88.66 J
Therefore, the bowling ball had 88.66 Joules of potential energy when held 1.7 meters above the ground.
How much potential energy did the bowling ball have when you held it to your face?
PE = mgh
The mass of the bowling ball is 5.5 kg if you had the ball 1.7 m above the ground what was its potential energy
