Equation for gravitational potential energy
|
|
mass x gravitational force x height
|
|
|
weight x gravitational force x height
|
|
|
mass x gravitational force / height
|
|
|
mass + gravitational force x height
|
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: -The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its height and mass. The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds. Gravitational potential energy increases as weight and height increases.
