Which of the following does not
contribute to the potential energy of an
object?
A height of the object above the
Earth's surface
B gravitational constant or g of the
Earth
C velocity of the object
D mass of the object

Respuesta :

Answer:velocity of an object

Explanation:

Potential energy of an object is the energy possess by the object when it is at rest,when an object is at rest, velocity is equal to zero,thus velocity of the object doesn't contribute to potential energy

Velocity of the object does not contribute to the potential energy of the object.

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object by the virtue of the object's position.

The formula for calculating potential energy is given as;

P.E = mgh

where;

  • m is the mass of the object
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • h is the height of the object

Thus, from the equation above we can conclude that velocity of the object does not contribute to the potential energy of the object.
