A 2.0kg object is raised by a height of 0.5m.Calculate the energy raised in its gravitational potential energy store? G=9.8N/KG

Respuesta :

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy stored is 9.8 J.

Given:

G = 9.8 [tex]\frac{N}{kg}[/tex]

height = 0.5 m

mass = 2 kg

To find:

Gravitation Potential energy stored = ?

Formula used:

Potential energy = mGh

m = mass

G = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Solution:

Potential energy of the object is given by,

Potential energy = mGh

m = mass

G = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Potential energy = 2 × 9.8 × 0.5

Potential energy = 9.8 Joule

Gravitational potential energy stored is 9.8 J.
