Question

an object of mass 1kg was at rest before it fell through a height o 5m and hit the ground. Calculate the initial gravitational potential energy of the object

Answer 1

$\bold{Hello \:\: Friend}$


Given :-

=> mass = 1 kg
=> height = 5 m


Potential energy = m*g*h

→ 1*10*5



Potential energy = 50 J




Hope It helps you. ^_^

Answer 2

Hello!

Data:

h = 5 m

m = 1 Kg

PE = ? (Joule)

Adopting, gravity (g) ≈ 10 m/s²

Formula:

$PE_{grav} = mass * g * height$

Solving:

$PE_{grav} = mass * g * height$

$PE_{grav} = 1*10*5$

$\boxed{\boxed{PE_{grav} = 50\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
