Question

A baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that
is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby has a
mass of 1.5 kg. The carriage has
Joules of
energy.
PLEASE USE COMMAS IN YOUR ANSWERS IF
NEEDED!
The formula for potential energy is:
PE = mgh
v = velocity or speed in m/s
m = mass in kg
g=10m/s (this is really 9.8 m/s on earth but we
will use 10 for simplicity)
h = height in meters
