the potential energy of a 40 kilogram cannon ball is 14000 joules. How high was the cannon ball to have this much potential energy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

35 m

Explanation:

Potential Energy of a particle of mass m at a height h is given by

P = mgh. where P denotes the potential Energy of the particle .

For cannon ball,

mass (m) = 40 Kg.                                  (Given)

P = 14000 Joules.                                  (Given)

Now, let cannon ball was at height h ,then,

14000 = (40)(10)h

h = 35 meters

So, cannon ball has to be at height 35 meters .
