To calculate the potential energy of the paper airplane, we need to multiply its mass (m) by the acceleration due to gravity (g) and the height (h) above the ground.
Potential Energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height
m = 0.005 kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)
h = 5.0 m
Potential Energy = 0.005 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 5.0 m
Potential Energy = 0.245 Joules
calculate the potential energy of a 5.0 g (0.005kg) paper airplane 5.0 meters above the ground
