Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is not used to calculate potential energy?
A
Mass
B
Gravitational Acceleration
C
Height
D
Speed
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Hi, The answer is letter D, speed. You can calculate potential energy as mass times height times gravitational acceleration .

Detailed explanation-2: -V = SQRT (PE*2 / m) Variables: Where V is the Velocity from Potential Energy (m/s) PE is the total potential energy (J) m is the mass of the object (kg)

Detailed explanation-3: -The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Detailed Solution. Running water is not an example of potential energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Elastic Potential Energy. Electrical (Electromagnetic) Potential Energy. Gravitational Potential Energy. Nuclear Potential Energy.
