GPE = mgh (mass x gravity x height). You can use 9.8 for gravity.

A boulder with a mass of 2500 kg on a ledge 200 m above the ground falls what is the speed of the boulder just befor it hits the ground?

According to Eculator's calculator for velocity of a falling object, the speed of the boulder won't be dependent on its mass and will be given by:v = (2gh)1/2So, the calculated answer putting h = 200 m would be: 62.609903369994115 m/sec


A Boulder with the mass of 2500 kg rest on ledge 200 m above ground what is the boulder s gravitational potential energy?

PE = m g H = (2,500) x (9.8) x (200) = 4,900,000 joules, with respect to the ground level


Is it possible that two falling bodies of different mases to have same momentum while striking the ground?

Sure, if either of the following conditions is true: -- The smaller mass started dropping before the larger mass did. As long as (MsmallVsmall) is equal or greater than (MbigVbig), the smaller mass has equal or more momentum than the larger one has. But of course, the momentum of the larger mass catches up as its speed grows. -- The smaller mass and the larger mass were dropped at exactly the same time, but on different planets. Then, if the smaller one was dropped in a place where gravitation is greater, and the greater mass was dropped in a place where gravitation is less, it's quite possible for the smaller mass to have more momentum than the larger mass has, at least for a while. If the acceleration of gravity on the larger planet is at least (larger mass x acceleration of gravity on the smaller planet/smaller mass) or more, then the smaller mass has more momentum than the larger mass has forever, or as long as they're both freely falling.

Height above the ground, and mass of the object itself.


What is larger?

Larger is used as a comparative between two or more objects or things. Most usually it refers to a physical dimension or property such as length, height or mass.


How is work related to gravitational potential energy?

As we lift a body of mass m from ground level to a height h, then work performed will be mgh which is equal to the difference in gravitational potential energy at the ground level and at that height.


How Gravitational potential energy affected by height?

The higher off the ground something is, the greater its GPE is. GPE=mass x gravitatonal constant x height.
