Question

Two bodied of equal masses are placed at heights h and 2h find the ratio of their gravitational potential energies Thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy= mgh

Height of A = h

Height of B = 2h

Potential energy of A= mgh

Potential energy of B= mg2h

The ratio of their potential energy= mgh / mg2h

=1/2

=1: 2

Answer 2

Hey there!

Mass of first body = Mass of second body

i.e $M_A = M_B$

Heights = h and 2h respectively.

Now,

$\dfrac{P.E_{A}}{P.E_B}\\\\=\dfrac{mgh}{mg2h}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=1 : 2$

Hope it Helps You!
