Let’s solve each problem step by step.

Problem 24:

We are told:
- Mass of refrigerator = 75 kg
- Height above ground = 300 meters
- We need to find potential energy

The formula for gravitational potential energy is:

> PE = m × g × h

Where:
- m = mass (in kg)
- g = gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s² (we’ll use 10 for simplicity unless told otherwise — but let’s check both)
- h = height (in meters)

But in many school problems, they use g = 10 m/s² to make math easier. Let’s try with 9.8 first, then see if it matches expected answers.

Using g = 9.8:

PE = 75 × 9.8 × 300
First, 75 × 300 = 22,500
Then, 22,500 × 9.8 = ?

Break it down:
22,500 × 10 = 225,000
Minus 22,500 × 0.2 = 4,500
So, 225,000 - 4,500 = 220,500 J

If we use g = 10:

PE = 75 × 10 × 300 = 75 × 3,000 = 225,000 J

Since the next problem uses nice numbers (like 14,000 J and 40 kg), maybe they expect g=10 here too? But 220,500 is more accurate. However, let’s look at Problem 25 to see what value of g they’re using.

Problem 25:

Given:
- PE = 14,000 J
- mass = 40 kg
- Find height (h)

Formula again: PE = m × g × h → so h = PE / (m × g)

Try with g = 10:

h = 14,000 / (40 × 10) = 14,000 / 400 = 35 meters

That’s a clean number. So likely, this worksheet expects g = 10 m/s².

Therefore, for Problem 24, we should also use g = 10.

So:

PE = 75 × 10 × 300 = 75 × 3,000 = 225,000 J

✔ That makes sense.

Now, fill-in-the-blank section:

Law of Conservation of Energy

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed (or transferred).

*(Note: Some versions say “converted” instead of “transformed”, but “transformed” fits better with later definitions in the sheet.)*

Roller coaster question:

“As you move up to the first hill on a roller coaster, the distance between the coaster and the Earth increases, resulting in an increase of potential energy.”

Because as height increases, potential energy increases.
