A box of books weighing 80 kg is on a table 75 cm high. What is its potential energy relative to the floor?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the potential energy of the box of books relative to the floor, we can use the formula for gravitational potential energy: \[ \text{Potential Energy (PE)} = \text{mass} \times \text{gravity} \times \text{height} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the mass of the box**: The mass of the box of books is given as 80 kg. ...
