Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The gravitational potential energy of an object of mass m at a height h is given by: (2022)
  • Step 1: Identify the mass of the object, which is represented by 'm'.
  • Step 2: Determine the height above the ground where the object is located, represented by 'h'.
  • Step 3: Know the value of 'g', which is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth).
  • Step 4: Use the formula U = mgh to calculate the gravitational potential energy.
  • Step 5: Multiply the mass (m) by the height (h) and then by the acceleration due to gravity (g) to find the gravitational potential energy (U).
