Answer to Question #274063 in Mechanics | Relativity for Mickeyyy

Question

How much potential energy does a car gain if a crane lifts the car with a mass of 1,500 kg and 20 m straight up

Answer 1

$PE=m\times g \times h$

where $PE=$ Potential energy

$m=$ Mass of the car

$g=$ Gravity

$h=$ Height

Therefore:

$PE= 1500kg×9.81M/s^2×20M=294.3kJ$
