Use the data provided to calculate the gravitational potential energy of each cylinder mass. round your answers to the nearest tenth.

3 kg:

6 kg:

9 kg:

14.7kJ, 29.4kJ, 44.1kJ

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.  

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the value of the gravitational potential energy will be:  

Where is the mass of the object, the acceleration due gravity and the height of the object.  

Knowing this, let's begin with the calculaations:

For m=3kg

For m=6kg

For m=9kg
