Potential Energy of an Object at a Height

A BODY OF MAS...

Question

A BODY OF MASS 5 KG IS AT THE HEIGHT OF 5M FROM THE GROUND. WHAT IS ITS POTENTIAL ENERGY? (G=10M/S)

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student ,
Mass = M = 5 kg , H = 5 m .
So the potential energy is , E_p = $M g H = 5 \times 10 \times 5 = 250 J$
