When the cart arrives at any place that's 1.0 meter higher than where it started, its potential energy will be
(9.8) · (its mass on kilograms) Joules .
Potential Energy is given by the formula mass x gravity x height. The starting height is irrelevant in its calculation. The potential energy depends on the mass of the object, gravity and the elevated height.
The potential energy of an object is calculated by the formula Potential Energy = mass x gravity x height. Whenever the height of an object increases, its potential energy will increase as well provided mass and the gravitational field (g) remain constant. Here, the starting height being 0.0 m is irrelevant to the calculation of potential energy at 1.0 m height. If the mass of the cart and the value of gravity (usually taken as 9.8 m/s2 on Earth's surface) are known, you can substitute those values into the formula to find the potential energy.
e.g. If the mass of the cart was 2 kg, the potential energy at a height of 1.0 m would be 2 kg x 9.8 m/s

x 1.0 m = 19.6 joules.

B. 19.6 m
C. 1.8 m
D. 3.96 m
Answer: The ball will land at 19.6 m
Explanation:
To calculate the horizontal range of the ball, we use the formula:
where,
v = velocity of the ball = 14 m/s
= angle at which the ball is thrown = 51°
g = acceleration due to gravity =
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the ball will land at 19.6 m
