Question

Derive an expression for gravitational potential energy.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Expression for Gravitational Potential Energy at Height (h) – Derive ΔU = mgh. When, h<<R, then, R + h = R and g = GM/R2.

Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted. PE = kg x 9.8 m/s2 x m = joules.

Answer 2

Answer:

the equation for gravitational potential energy is

GPE m. g. h where

m is the mass in kilograms

g is the acceleration due to gravity ( 9.8 on earth )

h is the height above the ground in meters
