Question 6 • Physics I

A 7 point 0 0 kilograms bowling ball is held 2 point 0 0 m above the ground. Using g is equal to 9 point 8 0 the fraction with numerator m and denominator s squared , how much energy does the bowling ball have due to its position?

Answer
A
68 point 6 cap j
B
960 cap j
C
137 cap j
D
274 cap j

Explanation

Gravitational potential energy is calculated with PE = mgh. Using m = 7.00 kg, g = 9.80 m/s², and h = 2.00 m gives PE = 7.00 × 9.80 × 2.00 = 137.2 J. The closest choice is 137 J, choice C.
