Question

Two bodies A and B of equal masses are kept at heights of h and 2h respectively. What will be the ratio of their potential energies?

Answer 1

Potential energy of a body is directly proportional to the height of the object.
Hence, $\boxed{\frac{\mathrm{Potential}\mathrm{energy}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{Potential}\mathrm{energy}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{B}}=\frac{1}{2}}$
Ratio of A and B = 1:2
