When a hybrid car brakes to a stop, much of its kinetic energy is transformed to a. heat. b. work. c. electric potential energy. d. gravitational potential energy.

Why: When most cars stop the cars use friction brakes, which inhibit motion by converting kinetic energy to heat.

c) electric potential energy

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
