A mass of 2kg is taken from the ground to the height of10m Find the potential energy of the object
Answer (1)
SOLUTION:Step 1: List the given values.[tex]\begin{aligned} & m = \text{2 kg} \\ & h = \text{10 m} \end{aligned}[/tex]Step 2: Calculate the potential energy.[tex]\begin{aligned} PE & = mgh \\ & = (\text{2 kg})(\text{9.8 m/s}^2)(\text{10 m}) \\ & = \boxed{\text{196 J}} \end{aligned}[/tex]Hence, the potential energy gained of the object is 196 J.
