The amount of potential energy the block contains is 2,822.4 Joules
Given the following data:
We know that the acceleration due to gravity (g) of an object on planet Earth is equal to 9.8 [tex]m/s^2[/tex].
To determine the amount of potential energy the block contains:
Mathematically, potential energy (P.E) is given by the formula;
[tex]P.E = mgh[/tex]
Where:
Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;
[tex]P.E = 12 \times 9.8 \times 24[/tex]
Potential energy (P.E) = 2,822.4 Joules
