Question

a 2kg body free falls from rest from height of 12m determine the workdone by the force of gravity and change in gravitational potential energy consider acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2

Answer 1

Answer:

When a body of mass (m) is moved from infinity to a point inside the gravitational influence of a source mass (M) without accelerating it, the amount of work done in displacing it into the source field is stored in the form of potential energy this is known as gravitational potential energy. It is represented with the symbol Ug.
