at heights of h and 1.5h respectively.
The ratio of their potential energy is​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 1:1.5

Answer 2

since , potential energy is given as

                          P=mgh

two bodies have equal weight ,so their m×g value is same

now let potential of first body be P₁ and second body be P₂.

THE RATIO OF POTENTIAL ENERGY,

         ⇒  P₁ / P₂=mgh₁ / mgh₂

        ⇒   P₁/P₂=h/1.5h       { since h₁=h  ,    h₂=1.5h=3h/2}

          ⇒ P₁/P₂=h/3h/2

           ⇒ P₁/P₂=2h/3h

               ⇒P₁/P₂=2/3

SO THE RATIO OF POTENTIAL ENERGY IS 2:3
