A 60 kg box is lifted through a height of 16 m. Taking m/s, how much gravitational potential energy does it gain?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 9600 J
- Step 1: .
- Step 2: J.
Answer
9600 J.
Why not the others: 960 J: it does not multiply by . 4800 J: it adds a factor that belongs to kinetic energy. 600 J: it ignores the height.
