Question

Derivation Of The Potential Energy Mgh

Answer 1

✔✅Since workdone on the object is equal to mgh, an energy equal tomgh units is gained by the object . This is the potential energy (Ep) of the object. It is clear that the work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of an object. This is the potential energy (Ep) of the object

Answer 2

$<marquee>The change in gravitational potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh, with h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity. The gravitational potential energy of an object near Earth's surface is due to its position in the mass-Earth system</marquee>$
