Question

find the energy possessed by an object of mass 10kg when it is at a highest of 6 m above the ground . given ,g=9.8m s-².​

Answer 1

Answer:

588 J .

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the object , m = 10 kg ,

displacement (height ) , h = 6 m, and

acceleration due to gravity , g = 9.8 m s-².

From Eq . (11.6),

Potential energy = mgh

= 10 kg × 9.8 m s-² × 6m

= 588J.

The potential energy is 588 J.

Answer 2

Answer:

Energy (potential energy) possessed by body is 588 J.

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of object = m =  10 kg

Displacement = height reached = h = 6 m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2

To find: Energy possessed by object.

Solution:

Concept: The energy possessed by body by virtue of its position and configuration is known as Potential Energy.

So, Potential Energy = mass*acceleration*height

or, P.E = mgh

here, m = 10 kg , g = 9.8 m/s^2 , h = 6 m

Substituting the values,

P.E = 10 * 9.8 * 6

or, P.E = 588 J

Therefore, Energy (potential energy) possessed by body is 588 J.
