Question

A person lifts a piece of luggage of 10 kg at the height of 2 m above the ground. What is the potential energy possessed by the luggage?

  1. 180 J
  2. 196 J
  3. 20 J
  4. 10 J

hintHint:

Potential energy can be calculated by the mgh 

The correct answer is: 196 J


    Given: 
    Mass of the luggage (m) = 10kg
    Height (h)  = 2m
    Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8ms-2
    To find: 
    Potential energy =?
    Solution:
    P o t e n t i a l space e n e r g y space equals space m g h space
P E space equals space 10 space cross times 9.8 space cross times 2 space
P E space equals space 196 J space
    Answer:
    potential energy of the luggage is 196J
