The amount of potential energy, P, an object has is equal to the product of its mass, m, its height off the ground, h, and the gravitational constant, g. This can be modeled by the equation P = mgh. What is the equivalent equation solved for h?

Answer:
h=(P)/(mg)

Explanation:

Given: The amount of potential energy, P, an object has is equal to the product of its mass, m, its height off the ground, h, and the gravitational constant, g.

This can be modeled by the equation
P=mgh

To solve the above equation for h, we need to divide mg on both sides, we get


(P)/(mg)=h

Hence, the solved equation for h is equivalent to :-


h=(P)/(mg)
