Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7350 \ Joules}}[/tex]
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy can be found using the following formula:
[tex]E_P=m*g*h[/tex]
Where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height.
The mass of the object is 5 kilograms. On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per square second. The height is 150 meters.
[tex]m= 5 \ kg \\g= 9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h= 150 \ m[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]E_p=(5 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(150 \ m)[/tex]
Multiply the first two numbers.
[tex]E_P=(49 \ kg*m/s^2)(150 \ m)[/tex]
- 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton.
- 49 kg*m/s²= 49 N
[tex]E_p=(49 \ N)(150 \ m)[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]E_p=7350 \ N*m[/tex]
- 1 Newton meter equals 1 Joule
- 7350 N*m= 7350 J
[tex]E_p= 7350 \ J[/tex]
The gravitational potential energy of the object is 7350 Joules
