(please awnser i need my grade up) We can calculate the about of potential energy in an object using the formula PE = mgh where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity (which on Earth is a constant 9.8) and h is the height the object is from ground. If I have a 2kg bar of gold and raise that to a shelf mounted 3 meters from the ground what is that objects GPE? Remember to insert the numbers into the formula like this PE = (2) (9.8) (3) , you may use your calculator to complete this multiplication problem.
