To calculate the potential energy of an object, you need to know the mass of the object (m), the acceleration due to gravity (g), and the height above the ground (h).
Given:
Mass of the golf club (m) = 0.75 kg
Height above the ground (h) = 60 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) ≈ 9.8 m/s²
The potential energy (PE) is given by the formula:
PE = m × g × h
Substituting the given values:
PE = 0.75 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 60 m
PE = 441 J
Therefore, the potential energy of the golf club is 441 Joules (J) when it is 60 meters above the ground.
