Question

A child dangles a 1.50-kilogram stuffed toy 0.500 meters from the ground. What is the potential energy of the toy?
Answers are:
0.188 J
0.750 J
7.35 J
14.7 J

Answer 1

since we know that
Gravitational potential energy = mass × height ×gravity

then

GPE = 1.5 kg x 0.500 m x 9.8m/s^2

therefore

GPE = 7.35 J

Answer 2

Answer: 7.35 Joules
