Question

Assuming the kittens on the stairs all have the same mass, which kitten has the most gravitational potential energy? Question 5 options: kitten 1 kitten 2 kitten 3 kitten 4 kitten 5

Answer 1

Answer:

Assuming 5 stands above all of them.

5>4>3>2>1

Explanation:

As gravitational potential energy is the measure of energy in a body due its position from the earth surface so kitten 5 is high from all others so it will have the highest potential energy.

Gravitational Potential Energy = mgh

m=mass

g= constant for all.

h= it is varying in this case.

Let us assume height of kitten 5, 4, 3, as 5m, 4m,3m so on

Gravitational Potential Energy (5) = mg5

Gravitational Potential Energy (4) = mg4

So the kitten which is at the top will have the highest Gravitational potential energy.

Kindly mark it branliest if the answer is little bit satisfying.
