Question

How can you justify that a body kept at a greater height has larger energy?

Answer 1

hi,

here is your answer,

It has potential energy (PE) due to its height and gravity, that will be released as it falls to earth, and be transformed to Kinetic Energy (KE). If one object is higher than another, it will have a greater PE than its counterpart lower down. Conversely, it requires more energy to lift an object to a greater height, thus accounting for the higher PE.
