Use the formula for gravitational potential energy:

PE = mgh

Replace the numbers you know: energy (PE), mass, and a gravity of about 9.8. Solve the resulting equation for height. Since you are using standard SI units, the answer will be in meters.

A vacuum uses input energy of 200 000 j to clean a carpet if 140 000 j of output energy is waste energy what is the efficiency of the vacuum?

This question means that 60 000 J is used usefully (this is used to produce the kinetic energy of the air flow that does the cleaning), so the ratio of useful energy to the total is 60/200 which is 30 percent. This is the efficiency of the device.


What is the potential energy of a 2 000 kg car parked at the top of a 30 m hill?

The potential energy of the car is given by the formula: Potential Energy = mass x gravitational acceleration x height. Plugging in the values: PE = 2000 kg x 9.81 m/s^2 x 30 m = 588,600 J. So, the potential energy of the car parked at the top of the hill is 588,600 Joules.


How are stars and gravity related?

The forces of gravity between two masses are always forces of attraction. As far as we know now, gravity always draws the two masses towards each other, and never pushes them apart.


How can you write this in scientific notation 300 000 000?

300 000 000 in scientific notation is 3.0 x 10^8.


How much energy does Canada consume in one year?

The United States is the largest energy consumer in terms of total use, using 100 quadrillion BTU (105 exajoules, or 29000 TWh) in 2005, equivalent to an (average) consumption rate of 3.3 TW. The U.S. ranks seventh in energy consumption per-capita after Canada and a number of small countries. The majority of this energy is derived from fossil fuels: in 2005, it was estimated that 40% of the nation's energy came from petroleum, 23% from coal, and 23% from natural gas. The remaining 14% was supplied by nuclear power, hydroelectric dams, and miscellaneous renewable energy sources.
