Questions and Answers

In the context of the text, what is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

  • $m \times h \times g$ (correct)
  • $m \times g$
  • $m \times g \div h$
  • $m \times h$

What type of energy is associated with a body's higher position above the earth?

  • Chemical potential energy
  • Elastic potential energy
  • Kinetic energy
  • Gravitational potential energy (correct)

How is potential energy related to the work done on a body against gravity?

  • The work done is equal to the kinetic energy stored in the object.
  • The work done is stored as potential energy in the object. (correct)
  • The work done is unrelated to the object's height.
  • The work done is proportional to the object's weight.

Gravitational Potential Energy Formula

m x h x g, where m is mass, h is height, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Gravitational Potential Energy

The energy stored in an object due to its position above the Earth.

Potential Energy and Work Relationship

The energy equal to the work done is stored as potential energy.
