Asled is at rest at the top of 2 m high slope. the sled has a mass of 45 kg. the sled's potential energy is

The equation for potential energy is PE = mgh, where m = mass of the object (sled), g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h = height of the object.

Let's say that, at the bottom of the slope, the height if 0m. That means the height of the object, the sled, is h = 2m. We are also told that the mass of the sled is m = 45kg and that g = 9.8 m/s^2.

Plug these values into the equation for potential energy:


------

822 J

The answer is a) taiga because taigas are cold
