Answer:

g = 1.25m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5kg

Height = 6m

Gravitational potential energy = 24J

To find the acceleration due to gravity;

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

[tex] P.E = mgh[/tex]

Where,

P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

GPE = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have;

24 = 5*6*g

24 = 30g

g = 30/24

g = 1.25m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X is 1.25m/s².

Answer:

g=0.8m/s^2

Explanation:

M=5kg

h=6m

GPE=24J

GPE=Mgh

g=GPE/Mh

g=24J/(5kg)(6m)=0.8

g=0.8m/s^2
