Potential Energy

[tex]______________________________________[/tex]

A mass of 18 Kg is taken from the ground to the height of 12m. Find the potential energy of the object.

Step 1: Given

• Mass - 18 kg
• Height - 12 m

Step 2: Required

• Potential Energy

Step 3: Formula

• PE = mgh

where;

• mass - 18 kg
• gravity - 9.8 m/s²
• height - 12 m

Step 4: Solution

PE = mgh

PE = (18 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(12 m)

PE = (176.4 kg.m/s²)(12 m)

PE = 2 116.8 kg.m²/s²

PE = 2 116.8 J

Step 5: Final Answer

Hence, the potential of the object is 2 116.8 J.
