What is the potential energy of an object that has a mass of 115 kg and is 6 meters high?

a
6762 J
b
676.2 J
c
130.8 J
d
1380 J

1 answer

The potential energy of an object is given by the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is the height.

PE = 115 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 6 m
PE = 6762 J

Therefore, the potential energy of the object is 6762 J.

So, the correct answer is a) 6762 J.
