Question

help give the correct answer

38. When a 5-kilogram mass is lifted from
the ground to a height of 10 meters, the
gravitational potential energy of the mass is
increased by approximately
(1) 0.5 J
(2) 2J
(3) 50 J
(4) 500 J

Expert Solution

Step 1

when the object from its initial position is lifted by height h on earth then the gravitational potential energy of the object is increases and the increase in gravitational potential energy is given by

GPE = mgh

where m is mass of object in kg

g = acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.81 m/s² approx 10 m/s²

h = height by which object is lifted in meter
