Answer: 6.12 kg
Explanation:
Since Mass of ball = ? (let the unknown value be Z)
Acceleration due to gravity, g= 9.8m/s^2
Height, h = 1.5 metres
Gravitational potential energy GPE = 90J
Gravitational potential energy depends on the weight of the ball, the action of gravity and height.
Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h
90J = Z x 9.8m/s^2 x 1.5m
90 = Z x 14.7
Z = 90/14.7
Z = 6.12 kg
Thus, the bowling ball weigh 6.12 kilograms
