The formula for potential energy is P = mgh, where P is potential energy, m is mass, g is gravity, and h is height. What is height h in terms of P, m, and g?

Answer:

potential energy is in Joules

mass is in kilograms

g is gravitational acceleration in meters per second²

height is in meters then

height (meters) = energy (Joules) / mass (kg) * g (meters per second²)

the height:


h = (P)/(mg)

(with g being the gravitational acceleration)
