Question

an 18 kg television is sitting on a table 1 meter above the ground. how much gravitational potential energy does the television have? remember : $e_g = mgh$ $g = 10 \frac{m}{s^2}$ $e_g = ? j$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given values

$m=18\ \text{kg}$, $h=1\ \text{m}$, $g=10\ \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}$

Step2: Substitute into potential energy formula

$E_g = mgh = 18 \times 10 \times 1$

Step3: Calculate the result

$E_g = 180$

Answer:

$180\ \text{J}$
