Question

Wile E. Coyote stands on top of a 90-meter high cliff, looking down at the Roadrunner. If
Wile E.'s mass is 38 kg, what is his potential energy while on top of the cliff? INCLUDE THE UNIT IN YOUR ANSWER.

Answer 1

Answer:

33.516 kJ

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by:

PE = mgh

Where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. In this case:

PE = 38kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 90m = 33516 kg m^2/s^2 = 33516 J = 33.516 kJ
