Question

explain gravitational potential energy with example​

Answer 1

,❤️❤️❤️❤️ please follow me

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position above Earth, energy due to its height. ... The equation for gravitational potential energy is GPE = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 on Earth), and h is the height above the ground in meters.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Answer 2

Gravitational potential energy is a potential energy body has with relation to its mass (due to gravity)

NOTE :- this energy is possessed by object because of its height (position)

*Example - a ceiling fan has higher gravitational potential energy than a table kept of roof .

its formula is - Mgh

M - Mass

g - acceleration due to gravity

(usually 10m/s^2 or 9.8 m/s^2)

h - height

Verification -

if height and mass of ceiling fan has 2m and 1 kg respectively.

thus its gravitational potential energy - 2*10*1

=20 J

also, let height and mass of table be 1m and 1 kg

thus gravitational potential energy- Mgh

= 1*10*1

=10J

Thus we can say that ceiling fan has more gravitational potential energy than table ..
