A student performs an experiment in which the horizontal position of a toy car is recorded on ticker tape from a device that places dots on the tape in equal time intervals. The series of dots in the figure represents the motion of an object moving from the negative direction to the positive direction along the horizontal direction. The time interval between each recorded dot is 1s. Which of the following experiments could the student have conducted to create the data shown on the ticker tape?

f=ma newton's second law 7x8=56n

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
