Answer:

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work per unit mass that would be needed to move the object from a fixed reference location to the location of the object. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge.

Explanation:

Essentially, gravitational potential energy, is an energy an object has because of its position.

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.it is Gravitational energy is the potential energy held by an object because of its high position compared to a lower position. In other words, it is energy associated with gravity or gravitational force. bran-list please

A 200 kg roller coaster is located at the top of a hill where the height is 30 m. What is the velocity when it reches the bottom
maw [93]

Assuming it starts at rest, the roller coaster only has potential energy at the top of the hill, which is

E_P=(200\,\mathrm{kg})(30\,\mathrm m)g

When it reaches the bottom, its potential energy will have converted to kinetic energy,

E_K=\dfrac12(200\,\mathrm{kg})v^2

where v is its velocity at that point. By the law of conservation of energy, assuming no loss of energy due to other sources (e.g. sound, heat), we have

E_P=E_K\iff(6000\,\mathrm{kg}\cdot\mathrm m)g=(100\,\mathrm kg})v^2

\implies v=\sqrt{60g}\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\approx24.2\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}
