An object of mass 10kg is at a certain height above the ground. If the potential energy of
the object is 200 J, find the height of the object from the ground?

Open in App

Solution

Given,
Mass = m = 10 kg
Potential energy = U = 200 J
Let the height of the object above the surface of the earth be h.
We know that,
U = mgh
=> 200J = 10×9.8×h
=> h = 200 ÷ 98 = 2.04 m.
