Question

Define potential energy show that potential energy of an object of mass m at height h from the ground is equal to mgh, where g acceleration due to gravity

Answer 1

Answer:

Potential energy

Common symbols PE, U, or V

SI unit joule (J)

Derivations from other quantities U = m · g · h (gravitational) U = ½ · k · x2(elastic) U = ½ · C · V2 (electric) U = -m · B (magnetic) U =
