Respuesta :
The change in gravitational potential energy can be calculated by the formula U = m × g × h .
Gravity (g) is the acceleration that affects all object on earth. The acceleration is 9.8m/s2, downwards. Gravitational potential energy is the potential for an object to return to the surface of the earth. For gravitational potential energy, the higher up an object moves the more gravitational potential energy it has. this is the energy stored in height. Like kinetic energy, potential energy is measured in Joules.
U = m × g × h
Where U is the gravitational potential energy, m is the mass of the object, h is the height of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.
With our formula and understanding of gravitational potential energy, let's practice calculating the change in gravitational potential energy with two example problems solved step by step.
