Answer:
Mass of the box is 3.06 kg
Explanation:
Potential energy (that depends on gravity) is the type of energy which is stored that relies on the general position of different parts of a body. It is a property of a framework and not of an individual body or molecule; the framework made out of the Earth and the raised ball.
P.E = m.g.h Equation(1)
as we have to find the mass of the box then the formula for the mass will become
m=P.E/g(h) Equation(2)
as we know
P.E= 120J
h=4m
g=9.8m/s
g is the gravitational acceleration
putting values in the equation(2)
m = 120/9.8(4)
= 120/39.2
= 3.06 kg
mass of the box is 3.06 kg
