What is kinetic energy?

400

Plants transform  _________ energy into chemical energy.

What is radiant.

400

What is Nuclear Energy?

400

A mountain climber lifts a 6.00-kg pack. What is the gravitation potential energy of the pack at 7.00 m above the base of the cliff? Use the equation for GPE to answer the question. Remember that g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s2.

GPE =mgh

What is 412J  

If GPE = mgh, then GPE of the pack is 

6.00 kg x 9.8 m/s2 x 7.00m =  412 J
