what is the potential energy of a 4.0kg bowling ball if it is 2 meters off the ground
The potential energy of the bowling ball is equal to the mass of the bowling ball multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity multiplied by the height of the bowling ball.
Potential Energy = 4.0 kg * 9.8 m/s2 * 2 m
Potential Energy = 78.4 Joules
