Aroldis Chapman (closing pitcher for the New York Yankees) posses a 47.7m/s (105mph) fastball. If he threw a baseball straight up into the air, how high will the baseball go? how long with the baseball take to reach maximum height? how long will the baseball stay in the air?

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.
