Question

There is a bell at the top of a tower that is 45m high. The bell weighs 190 kg. How much potential energy does the bell have?

Answer 1

83.79 kJ

Explanation:

The potential energy is the product of weight and height, where weight is in newtons.

PE = Mgh = (190 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(45 m) = 83,790 J
