What is the gravitational potential energy of a 1360 kg automobile parked at a height of 36.6 m (g = 9.806 m/s²)?
Options
A 48.8 kJ
B 488.1 kJ
Correct Answer
C 976.2 kJ
D 49.8 kJ
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Potential energy Ep = m * g * h = 1360 kg * 9.806 m/s² * 36.6 m = 488,103 J = 488.1 kJ.
