A0.25-kg ball sits on the roof of a building that is 10 meters tall. find the gpe. (gravity = 9.8 on earth)

Gravitational potential energy = mgh or mass times acceleration due to gravity times the height

Here the mass is 0.25kg, the height is 10m, and gravity is 9.8m/s^2 so...

GPE = (0.25)(10)(9.8)

GPE = 24.5 J

answer: he got 23

explanation:

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
