Question

If a body of mass 10 kg is raised to a height of 6m above the earth. Calculate its potential energy?​

Answer 1

Potential energy of the body = mgh 

Mass of body = 10 kg 

Height above the earth = 6 m 

Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s2 

So, EP = 10 × 10 × 6 = 600 J 

Thus, potential energy of the body is 600 Joules.

Answer 2

Answer:

600 joules

Explanation:

Potential energy of the body = mgh Mass of body = 10 kg Height above the earth = 6 m Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s2 So, EP = 10 × 10 × 6 = 600 J Thus, potential energy of the body is 600.
