Question
It changed but I tried putting the right input but it didn’t work so now I have to find what equals to 374J
![**Potential Energy at Top**
The potential energy at the top is calculated using the formula:
\[ E_p = m \cdot g \cdot h \]
Where:
- \( E_p \) is the potential energy (in joules)
- \( m \) is the mass (in kilograms)
- \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (in meters per second squared)
- \( h \) is the height (in meters)
For the given values:
- Mass \((m) = 6 \, \text{kg}\)
- Acceleration due to gravity \((g) = 8.9 \, \text{m/s}^2\)
- Height \((h) = 7 \, \text{m}\)
The potential energy \((E_p)\) is calculated as:
\[ E_p = 6 \, \text{kg} \cdot 8.9 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 7 \, \text{m} = 374 \, \text{J} \]
This calculation shows the potential energy at the top is 374 joules.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1cadb282-ff04-4954-bd58-9909bbd9e4c1%2F6b5b1cd8-5001-43a9-a489-480d70d2f330%2Fghde04_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
