A 14300 kg airplane is flying at an altitude of 147 m at a speed of 214 m/s. determine the airplane's total mechanical energy.

Mechanical energy in Joules:

348,041,980

the total distance traveled by the car is

30km + 49km = 79 km .

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.
