The Attempt at a Solution
I tried calculating the loss of energy by multipying the GPE by the average height but that didnt give me the correct answer
To calculate the loss of energy of an object, you can use the formula: Loss of energy = initial energy - final energy. This means you would subtract the final energy from the initial energy to determine the amount of energy lost.
The unit of measurement for energy loss is Joules (J). This is the same unit used for measuring energy in general.
No, the loss of energy cannot be negative. Energy can only be lost or dissipated, it cannot be gained or stored as negative energy.
Yes, there are several factors that can affect the loss of energy of an object. Some of these factors include friction, air resistance, and collisions with other objects.
The loss of energy is related to the law of conservation of energy because energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted into different forms. This means that the total energy of a closed system will remain constant, even if there is a loss of energy in one part of the system.
