Question

Potential energy of an object raised through a height h is ________ ( 1/2 $m{v}^2$, mgh).

Answer 1

When work is done in raising the height of an object, energy is transferred as a gain in the gravitationalpotential energy of the object. The gravitationalpotential energy E_p of an object of mass m at a height h is given by the relationship: E_p= mgh.
