WBCS.LIVE practice question

Which of the following formulas is used to calculate the Gravitational Potential Energy of an object?

Solve this multiple-choice question and check the correct answer with its explanation below.

Answer options

  1. 1/2 mv²
  2. 1/2 mv²
  3. P × V
  4. m × g × h

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: m × g × h

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: D) m × g × h 📚 Explanation: Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position relative to a reference point. Gravitational Potential Energy is calculated by multiplying the mass (m), the acceleration due to gravity (g), and the vertical height (h) above the ground. If an object is lifted higher, its potential energy increases proportionally with the height.
