Question

gravitation potential energy

Answer 1

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. Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2

Answer 2

when any object is thrown upwards with a height h and acceleration due to gravity with 9.8m/s square, an energy acting upon it, it will be called as gpe
