Your 2.4kg physics book lies on a shelf which is 1.5 meters off the ground . defining zero to be the ground level. how much gravitational potential energy does the book have in joules?

Gravitational potential energy of the book in Joules is 35.32

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity x Height

P.E = mgh

Mass, m = 2.4 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Height, h = 1.5 m

P.E = mgh

Gravitational potential energy = 2.4 x 9.81 x 1.5

Gravitational potential energy = 35.32 J

Gravitational potential energy of the book in Joules = 35.32

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
