An object of mass 2 kg is taken to a height 5 m from the ground (g = 10 m `s^(-2)`).
Calculate the potential energy stored in the object.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The potential energy U = m g h = `2 times 10 times 5 = 100J`
Here the positive sign implies that the energy is stored on the mass.
