Use the formula PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height). Use 9.8 meters per second square for gravity. Answer is in Joule.
the gravitational field between earth and the apple
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
When an object is at a position above the ground, it has gravitational potential energy. This is so because of the force of gravity that tends to pull objects to the ground.
The gravitational potential energy, from the fact that they are at a higher level, i.e., above ground level.
The idea is that, since it is above ground level, it has gravitational potential energy.
the gravitational field between earth and the apple
Place the object higher above the ground
Potential
Gravitational potential energy or GPE.
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
Gravitational potential energy = Mass x gravity x heightTherefore, an object at ground level is 0 meters above the ground, thus having no potential energy.PE = mghm = massg = gravitational accelerationh = height
You are changing the object's gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to position of the object above the Earth. This energy has the potential to be transformed into Kinetic Energy if the object falls.
If an object is above ground level, it has positive gravitational potential energy. (This assumes you define ground level to be zero - actually, you can define any level to be zero.)
When an object is at a position above the ground, it has gravitational potential energy. This is so because of the force of gravity that tends to pull objects to the ground.
