Gravitational potential energy - Georgetown ISD



Gravitational potential energy Applying new knowledgeCalculate the potential energy of a 5.0 g (0.005 kg) paper airplane 5.0 meters above the ground.Calculate the potential energy of a 6.3 kg eagle flying at a height of 75 m.Calculate the potential energy of a 40 gram sparrow resting on a branch 30 feet above the ground.How much potential energy is required to lift a 50 gram arrow to a height of 100 meters?Which has more potential energy: a 1.0 kg ball at a height of 10 m, or a 10 kg ball at a height of 1.0 m?What is the height of a 2.00 kg object if its potential energy is 100 J?A 2.5 kg falcon soaring at a height of 500 meters has a certain potential energy. Now suppose the falcon were carrying a 1.0 kg snake. What would the new height be if the total potential energy were to remain the same?Calculate the potential energy of a small plane that weighs 7,200 pounds and is traveling at a speed of 80 mph at an altitude of 5,500 feet. (Hint: 1 foot = 0.30 m and 1 kg weighs 2.2 lbs. on or near Earth’s surface) Gravitational potential energy Applying new knowledgeCalculate the potential energy of a 5.0 g (0.005 kg) paper airplane 5.0 meters above the ground.Calculate the potential energy of a 6.3 kg eagle flying at a height of 75 m.Calculate the potential energy of a 40 gram sparrow resting on a branch 30 feet above the ground.How much potential energy is required to lift a 50 gram arrow to a height of 100 meters?Which has more potential energy: a 1.0 kg ball at a height of 10 m, or a 10 kg ball at a height of 1.0 m?What is the height of a 2.00 kg object if its potential energy is 100 J?A 2.5 kg falcon soaring at a height of 500 meters has a certain potential energy.
