Given the equation PE = mgh, when calculating potential energy, which of the following statements is NOT true for calculating potential energy?

a
Potential energy is measured in Newtons (N)
b
Height does not matter
c
All of the above are true statements when calculating PE
d
Mass does not matter

a) Potential energy is not measured in Newtons (N). It is measured in joules (J).

Therefore, the statement that is NOT true is a).

The correct answer is a. Potential energy is not measured in Newtons (N), but in joules (J).
