A monkey throws a banana peel from a height of 14 meters. It has a mass of 0.01 kilogram. What was the approximate potential energy of the banana peel before the monkey threw it?

Respuesta :

We need to use the equation for potencial energy

Ep= mgh

now we have to replace with the values we have

Ep=(14m)(9.81m/s²)(0.01kg)

Ep= 1.3734 Joules
