What is the potential energy of a 3-kilogram ball that is on the ground?
Answer (3)
The answers zero because it is on the ground there's no way it can move without an external force.
The answer is 0 potential energy= mass• gravity (9.8m/s)• height. Your mass 3kg. I believe your need to convert this to grams (3000g) and then multiply by 9.8. Since your height is 0 because the ball is on the ground then your potential energy is 0
The potential energy of a 3-kilogram ball that is on the ground is 0 joules. This is because potential energy is calculated using the height above the ground, and in this case, the height is 0 meters. Therefore, any object resting on the ground has zero gravitational potential energy.
