Answer:
[tex]1.51\cdot 10^5 J[/tex] of gravitational potential energy
Explanation:
the gravitational potential energy of an object is given by:
[tex]U=mgh[/tex]
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the heigth of the object above the ground
In this problem, we have:
- m = 67 kg is the mass of the stove
- g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
- h = 230 m is the height of the stove above the ground
Substituting into the equation, we find
[tex]U=(67 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(230 m)=1.51\cdot 10^5 J[/tex]
