a 3.5kg rock is raised to a height of 35m before it is dropped. what was the pe of the rock
before it was dropped?

1201.725 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential energy of an object is its energy due to its position (height). It has formula:

Where

PE is the potential energy (in Joules, J)

m is the mass (in kg)

g is the gravitational constant (-9.8 m/s^2 )

h is the height (in meters)

Given,

m = 3.5 kg

g = -9.81 m/s^2

h = 35 m

Substituting we get the PE to be:

THe potential energy = 1201.725 Joules

5.5
