Question

calculate the potential energy of a body of mass 50kg situated at a height of 10m​

Answer 1

Answer:

Potential ENERGY =mgh

Here m= mass of the body,

g= gravitational constant ie, 9.8 m/s2

h = height

So 50*9.8*10==4900 joule

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• A body of mass 50 kg situated at a height of 10 m.

To Find :-

• What is the potential energy.

Formula Used :-

★ P.E = mgh ★

where,

• P.E = Potential Energy
• m = Mass
• g = Acceleration due to gravity
• h = Height

Solution :-

Given :

• Mass = 50 kg
• Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
• Height = 10 m

According to the question by using the formula we get,

⇒ P.E = 50 × 9.8 × 10

⇒ P.E = 490 × 10

➠ P.E = 4900 J

∴ The potential energy of a body is 4900 J .
