The option with the least gravitational potential energy in the question is : A: A ball sitting on the ground.
- Gravitational potential energy can be regarded as the energy that is been stored in an object due to its vertical position or height.
- The energy is stored in the object due to the gravitational attraction of the Earth as regards the object.
- To calculate the Gravitational potential energy, we can use
[tex]U= mgh[/tex]
h= height of the object
m= mass of the object.
- In The first option, the ball is on the ground, so it has no height or vertical position making it the least object with Gravitational potential energy. Unlike the airplane that is of some miles to the ground.
Therefore, option A is right.
