Question

List two ways to measure the gravitational potential energy of a ball when it’s dropped from different heights.

Answer 1

Answer:

The two different ways to measure gravitational potential energy is listed below:

Explanation:

• To measure the gravitational potential energy of the ball dropped from certain height we can use the formula as:

                                PE= mgΔh

where,

                         m= mass of the ball

                         g= gravity

                        Δh= change in height

• The second way is to follow the principal as:

                     Loss in PE = Gain in KE

                            ∴   -ΔPE = ΔKE

• Height and mass is the major element that determines the gravitational potential energy of any object.
