at what height is an object that has a mass of 56 kg if its gravitational potential energy is 9800 j

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body under influence of gravity by virtue of its position. It is expressed as:

GPE = mgh where:

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height reached by the object

Given

GPE = 9800J

Mass = 56kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Substitute into the formula and get the height:

9800 = 56 * 9.81 * h

9800 = 549.36h

h = 9800/549.36

h = 17.84m

Hence the object is at a height of 17.84m

the earthquake in haiti was a magnitude of 7.0 according to the u.s geological survey yet the smaller earthquake in haiti killed more than 200,000 and left more than 1.2 million people homeless. the chile earthquake was a magnitude of 8.8 and 500 times more stronger but chile's earthquake only injured 712 people.
