Q: What is the gravitational potential energy of an object of mass m at a height h above the Earth's surface?
Solution:
The gravitational potential energy is given by the formula U = mgh.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position above the ground.
Step 2: Identify the mass of the object, which is represented by 'm'.
Step 3: Determine the height above the Earth's surface, which is represented by 'h'.
Step 4: Recognize that 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity, approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth.
Step 5: Use the formula U = mgh to calculate the gravitational potential energy, where U is the gravitational potential energy.
