Which is the equation for an object’s potential energy?(1 point)
Responses
PE=mgh
PE=12mgh
PE=2mgh
PE=mg2h
PE=mgh
The correct equation for an object's potential energy is PE = mgh.
Explanation:
- P: Potential energy
- E: Energy
- m: Mass of the object
- g: Acceleration due to gravity
- h: Height of the object
To calculate an object's potential energy, you multiply its mass (m) by the acceleration due to gravity (g) and the height (h) above a reference point. This equation is derived from the gravitational potential energy formula.
So, the correct equation for an object's potential energy is PE = mgh.
