A person brings a mass of 2 kg from A to B. The increase in kinetic energy of the mass is 4 J and the work done by the person on the mass is -10 J. The gravitational potential difference between B and A is (i.e., VB−VA)
- 7J/kg
WA−B=(UB−UA)+(KB−KA)
or WA→B=m(VB−VA)+(KB−KA)
Substituting the value we get;
-10 = 2(VB−VA)+4
or VB−VA=−7J/Kg
