A17 kg box sitting on a shelf has a potential energy of 350 j. how high is the shelf? round your answer to the nearest whole number. the shelf ism high

The shelf is 2.10 m high. If rounded for nearest whole number the height of shelf is 2 meter.

From the formula of potential energy,

PE = mgh

Where,

PE- potential energy = 350J

m - mass = 17 kg

g - gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

h - height = ?

Put the values in the formula and solve it for h    

350J = 17kg  x 9.80m/s^2 x  h

h =  2.10 m

Therefore, the shelf is 2.10 m high. If rounded for nearest whole number the height of shelf is 2 meter.
