As part of a project for his biology class, Alex is studying the motion of a turtle over the course of an hour. He places the turtle at the center of a
circular tank. After a few minutes, the turtle hasn't moved and Alex ends up
drifting off to sleep. When Alex wakes up at the end of the hour, the turtle is
still at the center of the tank. Which of the following can Alex conclude about
the turtle's motion during the hour?

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.

given values:

mass = 0.3 kg.

this could be newton#'s law of cooling. the cooling curve is exponential
