Question

Two bodies P and Q of masses 15kg and 25kg resp. are at the same heght above the ground. Which of the two has greater potential energy and why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The body B having mass 20 kg has the greater potential energy.This can be explained as follows:

P.E=mgh

For both the bodies gravity and height are same so the body with greater mass possesses greater potential energy.

Explanation:

this is your answer think so

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The body B has the greater potential energy. This can be explained as follows:

Potential energy = mass*acceleration due to gravity*height.

P.E=mgh

potential energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object therefore the one with greater mass will have higher potential energy.
