gravational potential energy

Question 1

what is gravitational potential energy

Answer 1

gravitational potential energy is energy stored in an object due to its position about the earths surface

this is due to the force of gravity acting on an object

Question 2

gravitational potential energy formula not given in exam

Answer 2

gravitational potential energy= mass x gravitational field strength x heigh

Ep= m x g x h
J   = kg x N/kg x m
