1) a 1.5 kg apple pie is sitting on the kitchen counter . if it has 13.44 j of gravitational potential energy, how tall is the counter it sits on? 2) a suitcase weighing 120 n sits on a counter 1.8 m high in the airport. how much energy does it have? plsss answer 1& 2 and also show work

a)

0.91 m

Explanation:

We know that,

P.E. = m g h

Where,

P.E = Potential energy

m = Mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

It is given that, m = 1.5 kg

P.E. = 13.44 J

⇒ 13.44 = 1.5 kg × 9.8 m/s² × h

⇒ h = 0.91 m

Hence, apple sits om 0.91 m tall counter.

b)

216 J

Explanation:

P.E. = m g h

Weight, mg = 120 N ( given)

height, h = 1.8 m ( given)

The energy possessed by the suitcase is due to virtue of its position (gravitational potential energy)

P.E. = 120 N × 1.8 m = 216 J

Hence, the energy possessed by the suitcase sitting on the counter is 216 J.

ok
