A 7.3kg gallon paint can is lifted 1.78 meters vertically to a shelf. what is the change potential energy of the paint can

127.5 J

Explanation:

Potential energy is given as the product of mass of an object, the height moved and acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, PE=mgh

The change in potential energy is given by mg(hf-hi) where hf-hi is change in height got by subtracting initial height from final height. In this case, the initial height is zero while final height is 1.78 m.

Substituting 9.81 m/s2 for g, 7.3 kg for m and h with 1.78 then the change in potential energy will be

7.3*9.81*(1.78-0)=127.47114 J

Rounded off as 127.5 J

b) returns freshwater to the earth.

c) returns freshwater to the earth.c) occurs after condensation.

d) returns freshwater to the earth.c) occurs after condensation.d) roughly equal to the amount of evaporation.

happy to

pls mark as brainliest.

multiply 2kg by latent heat of vap
