To what height should a body weighing 15 kg be lifted to increase its potential energy by 45 J?
September 24, 2021 | education
| We take the initial position of the body as the zero reference level.
Potential energy (in the gravitational field of the Earth) Ep (45 J) = mgh, where m is the mass of the body (15 kg), g is the acceleration of gravity (10 m / s ^ 2), h is the height of the body above the zero level,
It follows from this that h = Ep / mg;
h = 45 / (15 * 10) = 0.3 m.
Check: m = J / (kg * m / s ^ 2) = (kg * m ^ 2 / s ^ 2) / (kg * m / s ^ 2) = m.
Answer: the body must be raised to a height of 0.3 m.
