Question

Formula for calculating potential energy is:
a) Weight × vertical distance

b) Force × displacement

c) Weight / vertical distance

d) Force/ displacement
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects. For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m / s2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.
