A potato gun is fired horizontally from a height of 1.5 meters with the potato launched at 25 m/s. How far from the gun will the potato land?

moving ball hits still ball. mover stops, hit ball moves. momentum transfer.

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.
