Potential Energy

Question 2 • 350CR Integrated Science

A ball has 116.62 J of gravitational potential energy at a height of 85 m. What is the mass of the ball?

Answer
A
0.14 kg
B
0.37 kg
C
11.9 kg
D
21.82 kg

Explanation

Gravitational potential energy is calculated with PE = mgh. Rearrange to find the mass: m = PE/(gh) = 116.62/(9.8 × 85) ≈ 0.14 kg. So the ball’s mass is 0.14 kg, choice A.
