- A worker assigned to check the lights at the top of the Panorama Tower is standing on the roof. A quarter with a mass of 0.0057 kg is in her shirt pocket. What is the gravitational potential energy (GPE) of the quarter at the top of the tower?
Given: Mass of the quarter being (0.0057kg), Gravitational constant in earth (9.81m/s), and the height of building in meters (264.63) with reference to part A plug in the (h) in meters
Unknown: GPE of the quarter at the top of the tower
GPE=mgh
GPE=(0.0057)(9.81)(264.63) or GPE=wh
GPE= 14.79731571
GPE = 14.79 to 2S.F
I would like to know how to use the formula GPE=wh in order to get the GPE of the quarter. I was able to use the formula GPEE=mgh but I am unsure if its correct. How to use GPE=wh to get the answer for the question.
