A car accelerates from a standstill to 60 km/hr in 10.0 seconds, what is its acceleration?

a= vf - vi/t

a= 60-0/10

a= 60/10

a= 6 m/s^2

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
