A dolphin jumps with an initial velocity at an angle 40 degree above the horizontal. The dolphin passes through the center of a hoop before returning to the water. If the Dolphin is moving horizontally when it goes through the hoop how high above the water is the center of the hoop?

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.
