Question 7

A small model glider has a mass of 0.075 kg.

During a flight test, the glider descends through a vertical height (Δh\Delta hΔh) of 40.0 cm.

The gravitational field strength, ggg, is 10 N/kg.

Calculate the change in the gravitational potential energy (ΔGPE\Delta \text{GPE}ΔGPE) of the glider.

Use the equation:

ΔGPE=m×g×Δh \Delta \text{GPE} = m \times g \times \Delta h ΔGPE=m×g×Δh
