Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The formula Weight x Height is used to calculate
A
Kinetic energy
B
Elastic potential energy
C
Gravitational potential energy
D
Mechanical energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m / s2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters. Notice that gravitational potential energy has the same units as kinetic energy, kg m2 / s2.

Detailed explanation-2: -53 7.3 Gravitational Potential Energy Show that the gravitational potential energy of an object of mass m at height h on Earth is given by PEg = mgh.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an. object as the result of its vertical position or height. The energy. is stored as the result of the gravitational attraction of the Earth. for the object.

Detailed explanation-4: -GPE=ℎ, where ‘m’ is the object’s mass, ‘h’ can be the object’s height above the ground, and ‘g’ is the gravitational field strength in the region that the object moved through, in this case, from the ground to 10 meters above the ground. GPE = 15×9.8×10 = 1470 joule.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ep = gravitational potential energy, in joules (J) m = mass, in kilograms (kg) g = gravitational field strength in newtons per kilogram (N/kg) h = height in metres (m)
