5. Let's say that the teacher raised the lawn bowling ball to a height of 1.6 meters before
they released it. THE LAWN BOWLING BALL HAS A MASS OF 4KG. Remember that
"g" ALWAYS equals 9.8 m/s?. Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the lawn
bowling ball at this position (position 1).

Answer 1

Answer:

E = 62.72 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a ball, m = 4 kg

The teacher raised the lawn bowling ball to a height of 1.6 meters before they released it.

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the ball.

We know that,

E = mgh

Where

g is acceleration due to gravity

So,

E = 4 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1.6 m

E = 62.72 J

So, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is equal to 62.72 J.
