Question

find the potential energy of an object of mass 10 kg when it is at the height of 6m above the ground. gives g=10m/s².

Answer 1

Given:-

• Mass,m = 10 kg

• Height,h = 6 m

• Acceleration due to gravity,g = 10 m/s²

To be calculated:-

Calculated the potential energy of given body ?

Formula used:-

$\boxed {\sf{Potential \: energy = m \times g \times h }}$

Solution:-

We know that,

$\sf{Potential \: energy = m \times g \times h }$

★ Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:

$: \implies \: 10 \times 10 \times 6$

$: \implies \: 100 \times 6$

$: \implies \sf{ 600 \: joules}$

Hence,the potential energy of given body is 600 joules.

Knowledge Enhancer:-

Energy : The capacity or ability to do work is called energy.

• S.I. unit - Joules ( J )

• Scalar quantity ( It has only magnitudes )

Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

• An object of mass 10 kg when it is at the height of 6m above the ground. Gives (g = 10m/s²).

Find:

• Find the potential energy.

Using formula:

★ ${\sf{\underline{\boxed{\orange{\sf{Potential \: energy = Mass * Gravity * Height}}}}}}$

Calculations:

$\longrightarrow\bold{Potential \: energy = 10 \times 10 \times 6}$

$\longrightarrow\bold{Potential \: energy = 100 \times 6}$

$\longrightarrow{\sf{\underline{\boxed{\red{\sf{Potential \: energy = 600 \: J }}}}}}$

Therefore, potential energy is 600 Joule.
