Question

Object of mass 50 kg is raised to height of 600 cm. What is the potential energy

Answer 1

Potential energy= mgh

P. E.= 50x9.81x6

P. E = 2943 J

Answer 2

Mass of the object (m) = 50 kg

Height raised = 600 cm = 6 meters

Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s^2

Increase in the potential energy = mass × gravity × height

Plugging the values in the above equation:

Potential energy = 50 × 10 × 6

Potential energy = 3000 Joules

Hence, the potential energy of the body at a height of 6 m is 3000 Joules.
