To calculate the potential energy acquired by the hammer, we can use the formula P.E. = m x g x h, where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height.
Given:
m = 0.75 kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2
h = 0.35 m
Plugging in the values:
P.E. = (0.75 kg) x (9.8 m/s^2) x (0.35 m)
Calculating this:
P.E. = 2.5775 joules
Therefore, the potential energy acquired by the hammer is approximately 2.58 joules. So, the correct answer is e. 2.58 joules.
