8/20 There is a bell at the top of đ tower that is 45 m high . The bell weighs 100 kg . What is the potential energy of the bell? 4,500 J 980J 441 J 44.10 o J

## Step 1The potential energy (PE) of an object can be calculated using the formula:### **PE = mgh**where:- is the mass of the object (in kilograms),- is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth),- is the height above the ground (in meters).## Step 2In this problem, the mass of the bell ( ) is 100 kg, the acceleration due to gravity ( ) is 9.8 m/s², and the height ( ) is 45 m.## Step 3Substitute these values into the formula to calculate the potential energy:### **PE = 100 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 45 m**
