Question

Q. An object is at a height of 2 m, and another object is at a height of 5m. Which of them have higher potential energy?
PS: It’s not about the height!

Answer 1

Potential Energy, U =mgh

As g is constant U depends on mass and height .

Here mass of the object is not given ,so we are not considering it .

So U directly proportional to height ,h

Greater height greater potential energy .
So object at height 5m have greater potential energy
