Question

Two bodies of equal weights are kept at heights $h$ and $1.5$ respectively. The ratio of their potential energy is

• A. $3:2$
• B. $1:1$
• C. $2:3$
• D. $3:4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $2:3$

We know that,

$P{E}_1=mgh$

Now,

$P{E}_2=mg\left(1.5\right)h$

$\frac{P{E}_1}{P{E}_2}=\frac{1}{1.5}=\frac{2}{3}$

$\therefore$ Option $C$ is correct.
