A meteor falls toward Earth's surface. Given that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2, what is the meteor's potential energy if it has a mass of 50
kg at an altitude of 300 m²
A. 147,000 u
B. 16 J
C. 22,050,000 J
D. 1,531 J

E = 147000  J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of meteor, m = 50 kg

The altitude of the meteor, h = 300 m

We need to find the potential energy of the meteor. The formula for the potential energy is given by :

Put all the values,

So, the required potential energy is equal to 147000  J.

yes it is balanced
