A student measures the length and width of a rectangle to be 40.7 cm and 0.599 cm, respectively. Wanting to find the area (in cm2) of this rectangle, the student multiplies on a calculator and obtains a result of 24.3793. The area should be reported as ___.

The area should be reported as 24.3793 cm^2

Explanation:

When reporting the area of a shape, the appropriate unit must be included.

Length of the rectangle = 40.7 cm

Width of the rectangle = 0.599 cm

Area of the rectangle = length × width = 40.7 cm × 0.599 cm = 24.3793 cm^2

an energy transformation flow diagram is shown

where is it ?

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.
