gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2. what is the gravitational potential energy of a 1200-kg lander resting on top of a 350-m hill? j



Answer :

The energy that an object has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy. GPE = mgh is the formula for gravitational potential energy. GPE = 1200(1.6)(350) = 672000 J

What is the source of gravitational potential energy?

If an object is located at a height that is higher (or lower) than the zero height, it has gravitational potential energy. If an object is situated on an elastic media in a position other than the equilibrium position, it has elastic potential energy.

How is the energy of gravitational potential stored?

By utilizing a pump, crane, or engine to raise a mass to a specific height, gravity batteries can store gravitational potential energy. Depending on the mass of the object and also how high it was lifted, the mass now retains a specific gravitational potential energy after being raised.
