Potential energy is the energy stored within a physical system as a result of the position or configuration of the different parts of that system.
Step 2 :
Formula:
Potential energy = m*g*h.
Unit is Joule.
A body of mass 4 kg is raised to a height of 39 m,the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. Calculate the potential energy possessed by the body.
Step 1 :Formula:
Potential energy = mgh.
Where m= 4kg , g=9.8 m/s2 , h= 39m.
Step 2 :Pulg the values in the above equation.
Potential energy = 4*9.8*39.
Answer :P.E = 1528.800 Joule
A body of mass 8 kg is raised to a height of 24 m,the acceleration of gravity is 3.2 m/s2. Calculate the potential energy possessed by the body.
Step 1 :Formula:
Potential energy = mgh.
Where m= 8kg , g=3.2 m/s2 , h= 24m.
Step 2 :Pulg the values in the above equation.
Potential energy = 8*3.2*24.
Answer :P.E = 614.400 Joule
