Question

The formula E= mgh, where E = gravitational potential energy, m = mass, g = gravity, and h = height, is used to calculate gravitational potential energy. Solve this formula for h.

h = E − mg

h equals E over m times g

h = E + mg

h equals m times g over E


Will give the first correct answer brain

Answer 1

Answer: h equals E over m times g

Explanation:

Given : The formula
`E= mgh`, where E = gravitational potential energy, m = mass, g = gravity, and h = height, is used to calculate gravitational potential energy.

To find the formula for h , we need to divide mg from both the sides, we get

`(E)/(mg)=h\ \ or\ h=(E)/(mg)`

Hence, the formula for h = h equals E over m times g

Answer 2

Answer: SECOND OPTION.

Explanation:

You have the following formula given in the exercise, which is used to calculate gravitational potential energy.

`E= mgh`

You need to solve for the heigh "h".

Remembar that the Division property of Equality states that:

If
`a=b`, then
`(a)/(c)=(b)/(c)`

Therefore, you can divide both sides of the equation by
`mg` in order to solve for "h".

Then, you get:

`E= mgh\\\\(E)/(mg)=( mgh)/(mg)\\\\h=(E)/(mg)`

Notice that it matches with the second option.
