A40 kg dog is sitting on top of a hillside and has a potential energy of 1,568 j. what is the height of the hillside? (formula: pe = mgh) how do you figure this?

4 meters

Given in the question,

mass of dog = 40kg

potential energy posses by dog = 1568 J

Formula to use

where m - mass of object

           g - acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

           h - height

Plug values in the formula

1568 = 40(9.8)(h)

h = 1568/392

h = 4 m

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its position.

Mathematically,         P.E = mgh

where               m = mass

                         g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s

                         h = height

Therefore, it is given that mass of dog is 40 kg and potential energy is 1,568 J. Hence, calculate the height of hill side as follows.

                                 P.E = mgh

                           1,568 J =  

                                h = 4 m

Thus, we can conclude that the height of the hillside is 4 meter.
