To find the distance of the box to the floor, we need to convert the potential energy (PE) to gravitational potential energy (GPE) and then use the formula for GPE.
The formula for GPE is GPE = mgh, where m is the mass (25 kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is the height in meters.
Given that the potential energy is 490 J, we equate it to GPE and solve for h:
490 J = mgh
h = 490 J / (mg)
h = 490 J / (25 kg * 9.8 m/s^2)
Calculating the value of h:
h ≈ 2 meters
Therefore, the distance of the box to the floor is approximately 2 meters.
p.e.=490 J m=25kg what is the distance of the box to the floor
