Question

What is the potential energy of a body of mass 'm' at height of 'h' above the earth's surface?

Answer 1

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy of body of mass m at a height of h above the surface of earth (M = mass of earth , R = radius of earth) is. Solution : Gravitational potential energy of a body of mass m at a height h above the surface of earth is given by -GMmR+h.

Explanation:

I hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

Potential Energy (P.E) = mgh

Explanation:

m= mass of the body

g= acceleration due to gravity

h = height.

Potential energy is the energy due to virtue of it's position
