Question

An object of mass 10kg is taken at the height of 6 metre from the ground. Calculate the potential energy stored it. (g=9.8 m sc-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

potential energy = m×g×h

= 10×9.8×6

=98×6

588J

Answer 2

The potential energy stored in it is 588 Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position.

$P.E=m\times g\times h$

m= mass of object = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = $9.8ms^{-2}$

h = height of an object = 6 m

Putting in the values we get:

$P.E=10kg\times 9.8ms^{-2}\times 6m=588kgm^2s^{-2}=588Joules$    $1kgm^2s^{-2}=1Joule$

Thus the potential energy stored in it is 588 Joules.
