1. Two bodies of equal masses are placed at heights h
and 2h. Find the ratio of their gravitational potential
energies,​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the first body which is placed at height h be A

and the second body placed at height 2h be B

gravitational potential energy of A = mgh( A is at a height h )

gravitational potential energy of B = mg2h(B is at a height 2h )

or 2mgh

the ratio of their potential energy is

A : B : : 1 : 2
