Calculate ine gravitational potential energy of the ball using pe=m×g×h.(use g=9.8 n/kg) A 4.0-kilogram ball held 1.5 meters above the floor has joules of potential energy

58.8J

Explanation:

Given parameters;

Mass of ball  = 4kg

Height above the floor  = 1.5m

g  = 9.8n/kg

Unknown:

Potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

  Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

  Potential energy  = 4 x 9.8 x 1.5  = 58.8J

when insulating materials rub against each other, they may become electrically charged . electrons , which are negatively charged, may be 'rubbed off' one material and on to the other. the material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. the material that loses electrons is left with a positive charge.

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.
