What would be the gravitational potential energy of an object whose mass is $1 kg$ and is at a height of $10 m$ ? $(t a k e g = 9.8 {ms}^{- 2})$

Open in App

Solution

Potential energy is mathematically represented by the formula
$P.E. = m \times g \times h$
where m is the mass,
g is acceleration due to gravity and
h is the height in meters.
$Potential Energy = 1$ $\times 9.8 \times 10$
$= 98 J$

What would be the gravitational potential energy of an object whose mass is $1 kg$ and is at a height of $10 m$ ? $(t a k e g = 9.8 m s^{- 2})$

To what height should an object of mass $2kg$ be raised so that its potential energy is $980J$ ? $g = 9.8 m s^{-} 2$

2 k g

980 J

g = 9.8 m s^{-} 2

2 k g

9.8 J

g = 9.8 m s^{- 2}
