Gravitational Potential Energy Basics
Calculate GPE
Substitute the mass, gravitational field strength and height into the formula. Remember to state the energy in joules.
Compare and explain
Use the formula and the relationship between mass, height and GPE to answer these questions.
- A 2 kg object held 3 m above the ground
- A 1 kg object held 5 m above the ground
- Both objects have equal GPE
- There is not enough information to compare them
- It doubles
- It halves
- It stays the same
- It becomes zero
Match the terms
Match each physics term to the quantity or unit it describes.
