The potential energy of the body at height 100 m is 98 J
What is potential energy?
This is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of his position. Mathematically, it can be expressed as
PE = mgh
Whare
- PE is the potential energy
- m is the mass
- g is acceleration due to gravity
- h is the height
How to determine the potential energy
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
- Mass (m) = 100 g = 100 / 1000 = 0.1 kg
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Height (h) = 100 m
- Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 0.1 × 9.8 × 100
PE = 98 J
Thus, the potential energy at height 100 m is 98 J
