Answer (3)

PE = mgh 0.65j = (0.055)(9.8)(h) h = 1.2m

The **height **of egg from ground is 1.2 meters.
What is potential energy?
We are aware that an **object's **position can cause it to store energy . When a bow and **arrow **are used, the energy that is **stored **when the bow is drawn is what gives the **arrow **its kinetic energy when it is released .
Similar to how a spring gains **energy **when it is moved away from its **equilibrium **position; we can see this by the **stress **it causes when we **stretch **it with our hands.
Given **mass **of egg = 55 gram = 0.055 kg
potential **energy **= 0.65 joule
so **potential **energy is given by,
PE = mgh
where m = mass, g = **acceleration **due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
and h = height
PE = mgh
0.65 = (0.055)(9.8)h
h = 0.65/0.539
h = 1.2 meters
Hence the **height **is 1.2 meters.

The egg is approximately 1.20 meters above the ground, calculated using the formula for gravitational potential energy (PE = mgh). By rearranging this formula to solve for height (h), we substituted the values for mass and potential energy to find the answer. Thus, applying the formula yields a clear understanding of how potential energy relates to the height of an object.
