Answer:
The gravitational potential energy (PE) of a particle or a system of particles is a form of energy that exists due to its position. Mathematically, it is expressed as the product of mass, gravitational acceleration, and the vertical displacement.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of the storage box, [tex]m = 400.0 \ kg[/tex]
Height, [tex]h = 10 \ m[/tex]
The gravitational potential energy of the storage box can be expressed as,
[tex]PE = mgh[/tex]
[tex]PE = 400.0 \times 9.80 \times 10[/tex]
[tex]PE = 39200 \ \rm J.[/tex]
Answer: PE = 39,200 J
Explanation: Potential Energy can be calculated by using the formula
PE = mgh
= 400 kg ( 9.8 m/s² ) ( 10 m )
= 39,200 J
