The potential energy of a hammer of mass 10kg, lifted to the height of 10m is


Open in App
Solution

Step 1: Given

Mass, m=10kg

Height, h=10m

Step 2: Formula used

Potential Energy, PE=mgh

Where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

Step 3: Calculation

By substituting the values in the above formula, we get

PE=10kg×9.8ms-2×10mPE=980J

Therefore, the potential energy of a hammer of 10kg at 10m height is 980J.
