Question

a body of masses 5kg is raised to a height of 80m.calculate the energy possessed by the body​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

• A body of masses 5 kg is raised to a height of 80 m.

To Find :-

• What is the potential energy possessed by the body.

Formula Used :-

$\bigstar$ Potential Energy or P.E. Formula :

$\mapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{P.E. = mgh}}}$

where,

• P.E. = Potential Energy
• m = Mass
• g = Acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)
• h = Height

Solution :-

Given :

• Mass = 5 kg
• Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
• Height = 80 m

According to the question by using the formula we get,

$\leadsto \sf P.E. =\: 5 \times 9.8 \times 80$

$\leadsto \sf P.E =\: 49 \times 80$

$\leadsto \sf\bold{\red{P.E. =\: 3920\: J}}$

$\therefore$ The potential energy possessed by the body is 3920 J .
