Question

At what point will potential energy be the highest? The object has a mass of 5 kg

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the object, m = 5 kg

We need to find the maximum potential energy. When the height of the object is maximum it will have the maximum potential energy.

The attached figure shows that the maximum height is 25 m. The formula for the potential energy is given by :

$P=mgh\\\\P=5\times 9.8\times 25\\\\P=1225\ J$

So, when the height is 25 m, the object will have the highest potential energy.
