Answer:
The bell has 8,550 Joule energy.
Explanation:
Gravitational Potential Energy
Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object because of its height in a gravitational field.
It can be calculated with the equation:
U=m.g.h
Where:
m = mass of the object
h = height
g = acceleration of gravity, or [tex]9.8 m/s^2[/tex]
Since the weight of an object of mass m can be calculated as:
W = m.g
The gravitational potential energy is:
U = W.h
The bell of weight W=190 N at the top of a tower is h=45 m high. Thus its energy is:
U = 190 N . 45 m
U = 8,550 Joule
The bell has 8,550 Joule energy.
