Question
Potential energy is dependent on mass
- True
- False
Hint:
U=m*g*h ,U is gravitational potential energy ,m=mass ,h=height ,g =acceleration due to gravity
The correct answer is 'True'.
- Potential energy is the energy that a body has due to its position in a force field. The force field can be gravitational, elastic, electric or magnetic. The potential energy of an object depends on the characteristics of that object and its position in the force field.
The most common way to understand the potential energy is by considering the gravitational field. The potential energy here U=m*g*h where we have:
- m: the mass of the object which is the characteristic of the object
- g: gravitational constant which is the characteristic of the force field
- h: the height = the position of the object in the force field
- So potential energy is dependent on mass
