A box is sitting on a very slightly slanted shelf. It has remained still,
despite the slant. Suddenly, the box
slides off the shelf. This sudden
movement must be due to...?
A. The mass of the box
B. The weight of the shelf
C. Unbalanced forces
D. A ghost

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

multiple allele inheritance is traits controlled by more than 2 alleles (ex: pigeons having 3 alleles of one gene govern their feather color).
