A 2.5 kg cat is resting on top of a bookshelf that is 3 meters high. What is the cats gravitational potential energy relative to the floor if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s ^2

The answer to your question is Ep = 73.6 Joules

Explanation:

Data

mass = 2.5 kg

height = 3 m

gravity = 9,81 m/s²

Potential energy = ?

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position, the highest the object be, the highest the potential energy.

Formula

Pe = mgh

Substitution

Ep = (2.5)(9.81)(3)

Simplification and result

Ep = 73.6 Joules

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
