Q

Gravitational potential energy formula

A

Ep =mgh

Gravitational potential energy equals mass times nine, eight times height above reference point

Measured in Joules is the scaler quantity and the amount of energy transferred when one Newton of force acts on an object for 1 m

Q

Principle of conservation of mechanical energy

A

In the absence of air resistance and friction mechanical energy of an object moving in its gravitational field is constant
Ek1+Ep1=Ek2+Ep2
