Question

Two bodies of masses 40kg and 45 kg are placed at the tenth floor of the building. Which of the bodies possesses greater energy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

45 kg

Explanation:

as 45 kg is heavier it will possesses greater energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

The 45kg mass will have more energy than the 40kg mass

Explanation:

We know that the equation of potential energy is given by,

Potential Energy = PE

PE = mgh

Hence,

PE ∝ m  that is,

Potential energy is directly proportional to mass that is,

If mass increases, potential energy also increases

Therefore,

Body having more mass will have more energy at the same height

Hence,

45 kg mass will have more energy than 40kg mass
