Answer:
The potential energy is 0.39 Joule
Explanation:
If a body of mass m is held at a height h above the ground it
Then P. E= weight *height
P.E=mgh
Given data
Mass m=2 grams to kg - - 2/1000=
0.002kg
Height h =20m
Assuming g= 9.81m/s²
Then P.E= 0.002*9.81*20
P.E= 0.39J
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position.
Answer:
Explanation:
Potential energy is given as
P.E = mgh
Where
m is the mass of the body
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height at which the object is at.
In this question,
m = 2gram
m = 2 / 1000 = 0.002kg
h = 10m
g is constant = 9.8 m/s²
Then,
P.E = mgh
P.E = 0.002 ×10 × 9.8
p.E = 0.196 J
The unit of potential energy is you're and it is a scalar quantity, I.e it has no direction but has only magnitude.
