Answer:
P.E = 82320 joules
Explanation:
Given,
The mass of the squirrel, m = 700 Kg
The squirrel leaped to a height, h = 12 m
The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
The potential energy of a body is possessed by its height. It is given by the formula
P.E = mgh joules
Substituting the values in the above equation
P.E = 700 Kg x 9.8 m/s² x 12 m
= 82320 joules
The Potential Energy of the squirrel is, P.E = 82320 joules
