9. A 2 liter bottle of Coke weighs about 2 kilograms. If that bottle were combined with an equal amount of anti-Coke, how many Joules of energy would be released (note that you get units Joules if you calculate the energy using units of kilograms and meters)

The amount of energy that would be released is equal to 4182 Joules.

Explanation:

Total amount of coke = 2 kg = 2000 g

1 calorie per gram is equal to 4.184 Joules of energy

4.184 J/gC*2000g = 8368 J

1 food calorie is roughly equal to 4186 J

8368 - 4186

Therefore, the amount of energy that would be released is equal to 4182 Joules.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
