The potential energy of an object of constant mass and fixed reference is determined by its _____(a) mass(b) gravitational acceleration(c) position(d) velocityThis question was posed to me in class test.Origin of the question is Potential Energy topic in section Work, Energy and Power of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (c) position

Explanation: PE = m x g x h

The mass of the given object is CONSTANT.

The FIXED reference indicates constant acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, VARIATION in height (h) is nothing but a variation in position.

Hence, the potential energy of an object of constant mass and fixed reference is DETERMINED by its position.
