Define the unit of work

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.

mass:

formula.

example:

given values:

mass = 0.3 kg.

we're given that v₀ = 0 and a = 5.4 m/s². therefore, since v = at + v₀ for constant acceleration the equation for velocity is

after 28s,

m/s

which i would round to 150 m/s as my final answer
