A 10 kg mass is lifted to a height of 2 m. What is the potential energy of the object

m=10kg h=2m Ep=mgh Ep = (10kg) (9.8 m/sec2) (2m)

Ep=196J

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects. For the gravitational force the formula is P. E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m / s2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.
