Question

A baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby weighs 12 N. The carriage has potential energy. Calculate it.

Answer 1

The gravitational potential energy is 252 J

Explanation:

The Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) of an object is given by

$GPE=Wh$

where

W is the weight of the object

h is the height of the object above the ground

For the carriage and the baby in this problem, we have

W = 21 N is their weight

h = 21 m is their height above the ground

Substituting,

$GPE=(12)(21)=252 J$
