Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5-newton book that is moved to three different shelves on a bookcase. The height of each shelf is 1.0 meter, 1.5 meters, and 2.0 meters.

Multiply 5 newton by each height. 1st is 5 joules, 2nd is 7.5, while 3rd is 10 joules.

Yo sup??
potential energy is given by
U=mgh
mg=5 N
U1=5*1=5 J
U2=5*1.5=7.5 J
U3=5*2=10 J
Hope this helps.

The potential energy of a 5-newton book at different heights is calculated as follows: At 1.0 m, it's 5 J; at 1.5 m, it's 7.5 J; and at 2.0 m, it's 10 J.
