A 1200kg car traveling at a speed of 29 m/s drives horizontally of a 90m cliff the potential energy is=

Sketch the situation.

b. Calculate the potential energy, the kinetic energy, and the total energy of the car as it leaves the cliff.

c. Make a graph displaying the kinetic, gravitational potential, and total energy of the car at each 10 m

increment of height as it drops

Explanation:

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.
