at what point the potential energy of a body is taken to be zero


DaIncredible: potential energy will be zero when a body is in the ground for example: a body is in place A it moves forward at place B horizontally, then the potential energy of the body will be zero, because as we know in the formula of potential energy, height is also included
kingwak: but it is not always necessary..... if we the the reference point in height then also the potential energy of the body will be considered as zero

Potential energy

Explanation:

  • Zero potential energy means the point at which the perfectly rigid body has zero internal energy.
  • Perfectly rigid bodies usually gain or loose internal energy as they enter electromagnetic and gravitational fields.
  • The reference point is called the zero point.
  • The potential energy will be zero there.
