Amongst which of the following is True about potential energy?
24. Amongst which of the following is True about potential energy?
- Potential energy depends upon velocity
- Potential energy is calculated as the product of mass (m), gravity acceleration (g), and height (h)
- Potential energy is calculated as the sum of mass (m), gravity acceleration (g), and height (h)
- Potential energy is a scalar quantity
Answer: B) Potential energy is calculated as the product of mass (m), gravity acceleration (g), and height (h).
Explanation:
Potential energy is calculated as the product of mass (m), gravity acceleration (g), and height (h), Potential Energy (PE) = m * g * h. Potential energy is a vector-like quantity that is independent of velocity.
