Question

What is the potential energy possessed by an object of mass 1 kg kept at a height of 1 meter g=10m per second?

Answer 1

potential energy = mgh
=1*1*10
=10 joule

Answer 2

Solutions:

The potential energy of a body is calculated by using the formula:

Potential energy = mgh

In this case, Mass, m = 1 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s2

And, Height, h = 1 m

So, putting these values in the above formula, we get;

Potential energy = 1 × 10 × 1

= 10 J
