6. A soccer ball is kicked at 15 m/s at an angle of 10 degrees. What is the horizontal component of the velocity?
A. 2.60 m/s
B. 2.64 m/s
C. 14.1 m/s
D. 14.8 m/s

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.
