Amongst which of the following is True about potential energy?

24. Amongst which of the following is True about potential energy?

1. Potential energy depends upon velocity
2. Potential energy is calculated as the product of mass (m), gravity acceleration (g), and height (h)
3. Potential energy is calculated as the sum of mass (m), gravity acceleration (g), and height (h)
4. 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.
