a worker raises a load of 50 kg from the ground floor to the second floor, which is at a vertical height of 10 meters from the ground. Calculate the gravitational potential energy possessed by the load and also write where did this gravitational potential energy come from? |
| Answer» END of this section, you will be able to:Explain gravitational POTENTIAL ENERGY in TERMS of work DONE against gravity.Show that the gravitational potential energy of an object of mass m at height h on Earth is given by PEg = mgh.Show how knowledge of the potential energy as a function of position can be used to simplify calculations and explain physical phenomena. | |
