Question

An object of mass 10 kg possesses a potential energy equal to 588 J when placed at a certain height above the ground .find The height to which it is raised. Take g=9.8 ms

Answer 1

$\huge{\mathfrak{\underline{\blue{Answer}}}}$

Mass of the object = 10kg

Potential energy possessed by the body = 588j

g = 9.8m/s^2

The object is at

$pe = mgh \\ (588j) = (10kg)(9.8m \: per \: sec {}^{2} )(height) \\ \frac{588}{10 \times 9.8} = height$

The object is

$\huge{\mathfrak{\implies{\green{6metre}}}}$

Above the ground
