Question
An object of mass m₁ is located at a height h₁ above the ground (that is considered
as the reference for the gravitational potential energy, PE, = 0) and has a potential
energy PE 1. If the mass is doubled (m₂ = 2m₂) and the height is reduced to h₂ =
then the new potential energy PE92 will be equal to:
h₁
PEg2= PEg1
PEg2= 2 PEg1
PEg2= 4 PEg1
O
PEg2= 0.25 PEg1
O PEg2= 0.5 PEg1
