Just use the formula for gravitational potential energy:GPE = mgh

Earth's gravity is around 9.8 newton/kilogram (it varies a bit, depending where you are located).

The answer will be in joules.

Can you multiply newtons by meters?

No, the result of multiplying Newtons by meters is not a valid unit in physics. Newtons represent a unit of force, while meters represent a unit of distance. If you multiply Newtons by meters, you get Newton-meters, which represents a unit of work or energy, also known as a joule.


When the flower pot in problem 3 is only 10 meters from the ground what is its potential energy?

I think we have the same question, Potential Energy = Weight X Height. It weighs 3 Newtons and is 10 meters from the ground. 3*10=30. I am pretty sure the answer is: 30J


What is the potential energy of 37 Newtons to a height of 3 meters?

The potential energy of an object lifted to a certain height is given by the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. To calculate the potential energy for 37 Newtons at 3 meters, we need the mass of the object. Since the weight is 37N (not mass), we have to convert to mass by dividing 37N by g (acceleration due to gravity, approx. 9.81 m/s^2) to find the mass, then use the formula PE = mgh to find the potential energy.


When you multiply meters and Newtons do you get joules?

No, multiplying meters and Newtons does not result in joules. Joules are a unit of energy, while meters measure distance and Newtons measure force. To calculate work, which is in joules, you would need to multiply force (in Newtons) by distance (in meters) in the direction of the force.


How do you turn newtons into joules?

To convert Newtons to Joules, you multiply the force in Newtons by the distance in meters over which the force is applied. Joules are a unit of energy, and when you multiply force (in Newtons) by distance (in meters), you get work done, which is measured in Joules.

Do you use 9.8 for potential energy?

9.8 is used, in SI units, for the gravity - this is either 9.8 meters/second2, or the equivalent 9.8 newtons/kg.

What is the potential energy of a 20 kg safe sitting on a shelf 05 meters above the ground?

The potential energy of the safe can be calculated using the formula: Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height. Given the values, the potential energy of the safe is 98 J (20 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.5 m).


What is the gravitational potential energy of a microscope with a mass of 0.5 kg sitting on a shelf 1 m from the floor?

Gravitational potential energy is the product of the force required to lift the mass and the height. For a mass of 0.5 kg, the force attracting it to the earth is 0.5 x 9.81 Newtons. (9.81 is the acceleration of a body in freefall, in units of meters/sec2.) As in this case the mass is raised 1 meter, its energy is 0.5 x 9.81 x 1 = 4.905 Joules.
