Calculate the potential energy of a 1.5 kg hammer that is located at a height of 2 m

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position. It is calculated using the following formula:

The mass of the hammer is 1.5 kilograms and its height is 2 meters. Assuming this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared.

Substitute these values into the formula.

Multiply the numbers together.

Convert the units. 1 kilogram meter squared per second squared is equal to 1 Joule. Our answer of 29.4 kg*m²/s² is equal to 29.4 J.

The potential energy of the hammer is 29.4 Joules.
