How is gravitational potential energy calculated?.

  1. A.E = m x g x h
  2. B.E = m x v^2
  3. C.E = F x d
  4. D.E = m x L

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • E = m x g x h

Explanation

Why this works

Gravitational potential energy is calculated using the formula E = m x g x h, where E is the gravitational potential energy, m is the mass, g is the gravitational field strength, and h is the height. This formula shows how energy is stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field.
