Answer:
Gpe = 30000J
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Weight = 100N
Height = 300m
To find the gravitational potential energy (gpe);
Gravitational potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth surface.
Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;
[tex] G.P.E = mgh[/tex]
Where,
G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
m represents the mass of an object.
g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
h represents the height measured in meters.
Gpe = mgh
But weight = mg = 100N
Substituting into the equation, we have:
Gpe = 100*300
Gpe = 30000J
