Question

derive the expression for potential energy.​

Answer 1

Derivation for the equation of Potenstial Energy: Let the work done on the object against gravity = W Work done, W = force × displacement Work done, W = mg × h Work done, W = mghSince workdone on the object is equal to mgh, an energy equal to mgh units is gained by the object

Answer 2

Answer:

Energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position is called potential energy.

Derivation:

Let us consider a body of mass m raised from the ground to the height h, the amount of work done against gravity is

W = F x h

But, F = mg, the weight of the body.

So, W = mgh
