Learn that two objects at different heights can have the same potential energy, while two objects at the same height can have different potential energies. LESSON MATERIALS Student Exploration Sheet PDF MS Word Google Doc New! Vocabulary Sheet PDF MS Word ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS: 1. A 2-kg block rests on a wall that is 3 m tall. What is the gravitational potential energy of the block? The force of gravity on Earth ( ) is equal to 9.8 m/s 2 . A. 3 joules B. 6 joules C. 29.4 joules D. 58.8 joules 2. An object of mass 1.5 kg rests on a shelf where it has a gravitational potential energy of 7 joules. An object of mass 4.5 kg is placed on the same shelf. What is the gravitational potential energy of this second object? A. 7 joules B. 10 joules DESCRIPTION TABLE BAR CHART Ball Clips Paper SIMULATION m Gizmo Status In this simulation, you can drag the ball, paperclips, and paper to different locations. When you drop an object, it will fall either to the shelf below or to the floor. The room is 6 meters tall, with shelves located at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 meters above the floor. Tools

An object has a gravitational potential energy of 24 joules when it rests on a shelf 3 m above the ground. What would be its gravitational potential energy when it is lowered to a shelf 1 m above the ground? A. 8 joules B. 12 joules C. 22 joules D. 72 joules 4. Object A has a gravitational potential energy of 24 joules when it rests on a shelf 5 m above the ground. Object B has a mass that is three times the mass of Object A. What would be the gravitational potential energy of object B when it rests on a shelf 10 m above the ground? A. 72 joules B. 120 joules C. 144 joules D. 240 joules 5. 15 joules of work are done by forces other than gravity in taking an object from a position 3 m above the ground to a position 8 m above the ground. What is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the object? A. It decreases by 5 joules. B. It increases by 5 joules. C. It increases by 11 joules. D. It increases by 15 joules.
