Sample Problems:
1.What is the PE of a 0.5 kg book that is on a
bookshelf 2.5 meter above the floor?

Given : Solution :
m = o.5 kg PE = mgh
g = 9.8 m/s2 =( 0.5 kg) ( 9.8 m/s2) ( 2.5
m)
h = 2.5 meter PE = 12.25 Joule
Sample Problems:
2. If a trolley with a mass of 6kg moves with a velocity
of 10m/s. How much KE does it possess?

Given : Solution :
m = 6 kg KE = mv2
2
v = 10 m/s = 6 kg (10m/s)2
2
KE = 600
2
KE = 300 Joule
