GPE = mgh = (mg)*h = 200*100 = 20,000 Joules.
Answer: 44 meters
For a physical meaning, take potential energy as an example. To raise an object from one position to another position one meter higher takes a certain amount of energy - the potential energy of the object increases. The amount of energy is independent of the path the object takes - whether it goes straight up, in zigzag, etc.
Did you say one meter ?You'll have to give the box 49 joules of additional gravitational potential energy.But since the human muscular system is not 100% efficient, you'll have to spendsomewhat more energy than that in order to do the job. The additional energythat you put into the effort will show up in the form of elevated body temperature,increased heart rate and blood pressure, and warm perspiration on your brow.
it is use to measure electric potential (voltage).
The rate of change of potential with respect to distance is called potential gradient. its unit is volt per meter or newton/coulomb.
because the value of gravitational force of earth is greater than that of moon.
There is less gravity on the Moon. Gravitational potential energy can be calculated by multiplying weight x height, or the equivalent mass x gravity x height.
The gravitational potential energy of an object is determined by the mass of the object, the acceleration due to gravity, and the height. The Moon has a lower mass and weaker gravitational pull compared to Earth, resulting in less gravitational potential energy for an object at the same height above their surfaces.
Just use the formula for gravitational potential energy, which is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). Close to Earth, gravity is approximately 9.8 newtons/meter.
For every meter it's raised, it gains 833 more joules of gravitational potential energy.
Assuming that the two are the same man ... the man diving from a 10 meter board would have five times the potential energy as the man on the 2 meter board. The energy is directly proportional to the height.
the units for gravitational potential energy is joules (j)
The object held 1 meter above the ground has gravitational potential energy, which is the energy stored in an object due to its position relative to the Earth's surface. This potential energy is based on the height of the object above the ground and the force of gravity acting on it.
(Gravitational) potential energy = mgh (mass x gravity x height). Those are the three factors. In standard units (SI), mass is given in kg., gravity is around 9.8 meter / second square, and the height should be given in meters.
The potential energy of the 2kg case sitting on the table is equal to the gravitational potential energy, which is given by the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass (2kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²), and h is the height (1 meter). Plugging in the values, the potential energy is calculated as PE = 2kg * 9.81 m/s² * 1m = 19.62 Joules.
The gravitational potential energy of the rock can be calculated using the formula: GPE = mgh, where m is the mass (1 kg), g is gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s^2), and h is the height (100 m). Substituting the values into the formula, we get GPE = 1 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 100 m = 981 Joules.
If you are ignoring energy lost due to friction, the total mechanical energy will be the same after it has traveled 1 meter as when it was dropped. This means the easiest way to solve the problem is to find the mechanical energy at the beginning, when the ball is at rest and all of its mechanical energy is gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy equals mass*g*height. Since mass*g equals weight, we can just multiply 10N by 4m, making the total mechanical energy 40J.After it has traveled 1 meter, some of the gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy. The gravitational potential energy is just the weight of 10N multiplied by the height of 3m, or 30J. To find the kinetic energy, we need to find velocity2, which equals 2 times acceleration (g) times displacement (1m) when the initial velocity is 0. We also need the mass, which is weight (10N) divided by g. Kinetic energy equals (1/2)*mass*velocity2, so we get (1/2)*10N÷g*2*g*1m, which equals 10J, so the total mechanical energy is still 40J.
