A weightlifter lifts a set of 1250N weights a vertical distance of 2m in a weight lifting contest. What Potential Energy do the weights now possess? Potential Energy = Weight x HeightWeight = Potential Energy / HeightHeight = Potential Energy / WeightWeight = Mass x 10Mass = Weight / 10

Respuesta :

Given that the weight is W = 1250 N

The vertical distance or height is h = 2 m

We have to find the potential energy.

The potential energy is given by the formula

[tex]\text{Potential energy = Weight }\times\text{ Height}[/tex]

Substituting the values, the potential energy will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Potential energy = 1250 }\times2\text{ } \\ =\text{ 2500 J} \end{gathered}[/tex]
