Nan’s suitcase has a mass of 14 kilograms. How much potential

energy does it gain when she lifts it onto a bench that is 40
centimeters tall?
(1 point)
PE = mgh
5,488 J
5.6 J
54.88 J
24.2 J

1 answer

PE = mgh
PE = 14 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.4 m
PE = 54.88 J

Therefore, Nan's suitcase gains 54.88 Joules of potential energy when she lifts it onto a bench that is 40 centimeters tall.

The answer is 54.88 J.
