Question

If a body of mass m is placed on the surface of earth, what is the
amount of potential energy possessed by it. ( g = 9.8 m/s2
)

Answer 1

The change in gravitational potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh, with h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity. The gravitational potential energy of an object near Earth's surface is due to its position in the mass-Earth system.

Explanation:

The equation for gravitational potential energy is: ⇒ GPE = m⋅g⋅h. Where, m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 on Earth)
