Amass weighing 24 pounds, attached to the end of a spring, stretches it 4 inches. initially, the mass is released from rest from a point 4 inches above the equilibrium position. find the equation of motion. (use g = 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)

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.
