Potential Energy Derivation

Potential energy is the work done to take a body to a certain height. For a body with mass m, h is the distance to which it is raised and g is the gravitational force acting on the body, then work done W is given as: W = force * displacement. W = mg * h. ∴ W = mgh.

Answer 2
