What is the potential emery of a 10 newton book on a shelf 2.5 meters high?

For gravitational potential energy:
PE = weight x height
PE = mgh (that is, mass x gravity x height)
The first formula is appropriate in this case, since you already know the weight.

Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
Does a book sitting on a shelf have gravitational potential energy?
YES!
The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the shelf
What is the relationship between the work done to lift a book to place it on a bookshelf and the potential energy of the book on the shelf?
There is no direct relationship because the potential energy of the book on the shelf is defined relative to an arbitrary base line at which the potential energy would be zero. The work done in raising the book is the increase in the potential energy of book from however much PE it had in its previous location - for example, on a lower shelf.
Is a book on a shelf potential energy?
Yes it is. Because it has the POTENTIAL of falling off. Very simple physics, learned that in 6th grade.
00 joules of work was done lifting a 200 newton box to a shelf directly above the box. How many meters high was the shelf?
0 / 200 = 0 meters.
How much work does 25-newton force do to lift a potted plant from the floor to a shelf 1.5 meters high?
If the 25N force is directed straight up, so that the force itself moves 1.5 meters tofinish the job, then it does 37.5 joules of work, which becomes 37.5 more joules ofgravitational potential energy that the plant has, once it's on the shelf.
How high is a shelf if 800 joules of work is done lifting a 200 newton box?
1 joule = 1 newton-meter 800 joules = 800 newton-meters = (200 newtons) x ('H' meters) H = 800 N-m / 200 N = 4 meters
What is the potential energy of a 20 kg safe sitting on a shelf 05 meters above the ground?
19.6 j
When is the potential energy of one-kilogram box of chocolates hidden on a shelf in the pantry 2 meters above the floor?
19.6
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf what changes?
Gravitational potential energy
A 50 newton force is required to push a 10 kg box 30 meters across the floor. The box is then lifted up 6 meters and placed on a shelf. How much total work was done?
2,088 J
What is the potential energy of a one-kilogram box of chocolates hidden on a shelf in the pantry to meters above the floor?
m=1kg g=9.8 h=1m mgh is the formula for potential energy you IDIOT
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
What energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
The potential energy of the book on the shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. This is because the potential energy of an object at a certain height is equivalent to the work done against gravity to lift it to that height.
When an object is moved from the bottom shelf to the top shelf its gravitational potential energy has?
Increased
What is the potential energy of a 20 kg safe on a shelf 0.5 meters above the ground?
Use the formula for gravitional potential energy: PE = mgh (mass x gravity x height). Use 9.8 for gravity. Answer will be in Joule.
