1.	Which of the following is true?(a) Potential energy decreases as altitude increases(b) Potential energy increases as altitude increases(c) Potential energy first increases and then decreases as altitude increases(d) Potential energy first decreases and then increases as altitude increasesThe question was asked in a national level competition.My enquiry is from Potential Energy topic in division Work, Energy and Power of Physics – Class 11
Answer» Correct choice is (b) Potential energy increases as ALTITUDE increases The explanation: As altitude increases potential energy increases. From the equation of potential energy (PE); PE = m x g x h We can SEE that the potential energy is directly proportional to height. Hence the STATEMENT is justified.
