Question

The kinetic energy at 500m is not equal to the loss of gravitational potential energy .Explain why there is a difference in the values​

Answer 1

Explanation:

By the end of this section, you will be able to:

Explain gravitational potential energy in terms of work done against gravity.

Show that the gravitational potential energy of an object of mass m at height h on Earth is given by PEg = mgh.

Show how knowledge of the potential energy as a function of position can be used to simplify calculations and explain physical phenomena.
