1)A 1 kg brick is carried to up the Eiffel Tower to the 275 m platform. How
much gravitational potential energy does it acquire?

Answer 1

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy is 2,750 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass of brick = 1kg

Height of Eiffel Tower = 275m

Potential energy can be defined as the energy possessed by an object due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is;

$P = mgh$

Also, we know acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s2

$P = mgh$

$P = 1 * 275 * 10$

P = 2750 Joules.

Hence, the gravitational potential energy the brick acquired is 2750 Joules.
