How to calculate joules

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-07-11] [Hit: ]
so Id do it by proportion, rather than converting everything to metric.It now has a mass 50/44 times as big and itsfalling 12/39.The energy in the new case will be (50 / 44) * (12 / 39.370) * 200 = 69.22.......
The calculated joules for an object weighing 44lbs from a height of 39.370 inches is 200.

How much would the joules be for an object weight 50lbs falling from a height of 12 inches be and how is it calculated?

-
Potential energy = MgH
Convert pounds to .454 kg and feet to meters

-
Potential energy is just mass * acceleration due to gravity * height, so I'd do it by proportion, rather than converting everything to metric.

It now has a mass 50/44 times as big and it's falling 12/39.370 as far

The energy in the new case will be (50 / 44) * (12 / 39.370) * 200 = 69.27 joules

-
Potential energy = mass * g * height
'g' is surface gravity

Convert pounds to kilograms
Convert inches to meters

22.679 kilograms falling from 0.3048 = 67.7 joules
