Question

At what height is an object that weighs 490 newtons if its gravitational potential energy is 4900 J?

Answer 1

The height at which the object is moved is 10 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, W = F = 490 N

The gravitational potential energy, P = 4900 J

We need to find the height at which the object is moved. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to its position. It is given by :

`P=mgh\\\\h=(P)/(mg)\\\\h=(4900\ J)/(490\ N)\\\\h=10\ m`

So, the height at which the object is moved is 10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
