Question
A $52-\mathrm{kg}$ package is lifted up to the top shelf in a storage bin that is $4 \mathrm{~m}$ above the ground floor. How much increase in potential energy does the package get?
Step 1
The mass (m) of the package is 52 kg and the height (h) it is lifted is 4 m. We also know the acceleration due to gravity (g) is 9.81 m/s². Show more…
