The carriage at the top of the hill has gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) can be calculated using the formula:
GPE = m * g * h
Where:
m = mass of the object (baby and carriage) = 12 N
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2 (approximate value on Earth)
h = height = 21 m
Plugging in the values:
GPE = 12 N * 9.8 m/s^2 * 21 m
GPE = 2479.2 N*m
Therefore, the carriage with the baby has 2479.2 joules of gravitational potential energy.
A baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby weighs 12 N. The carriage has ______ energy. Calculate it.
