Question

If m= 500 kg, h= 10m, g =9.8 m/s2 then what is potential energy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

49000 Joules

Explanation:

u = mgh

  = 500 x 9.8 x 10

  = 49000 J or 49 kJ

Answer 2

Given data: m=500 kg, h=10 m, g=9.8 m/s²

To Find: The potential energy by using the formula.

Solution:

The energy stored in the object is known as potential energy and it is measured in joules.

The formula for potential energy P is,

$P=mgh$,  where $m$ is the mass, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, $h$ is the height of an object.

Substitute $m=500kg , g=9.8 m/s^{2} ,h=10m$ in the formula,

$P=mgh$$=500$×$9.8$×$10$

$P=500$×$98$

$P=49,000$ $joules.$

Therefore, the potential energy is $P=49,000$ $joules.$
