A 3 kg drone starts at 5 meter above the ground and reached 25 meter above the ground. Find the potential energy of the drone. Formula: PE=mghf-hi

Recall that work is the amount of energy transferred to an object when it experiences a displacement and is acted upon by an external force. It is given a symbol of W and is measured in joules (J).

W=\vec{F}\cdot \Delta \vec{d}

We can use this formula to determine the work done by very specific forces, generating specific types of energy. We will examine three types of energy in this activity: gravitational potential, kinetic, and thermal. Before we start deriving equations for gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, we should note that since work is the transfer and/or transformation of energy, we can also write its symbol as \Delta E.

Amethod of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.
