An object of mass 1 kg is falling from the height h = 10 m. Calculate
The total energy of an object at h = 10 m
(Assume g = 10 `ms^(-2)`)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The gravitational force is a conservative force. So the total energy remains constant throughout the motion. At h = 10 m, the total energy E is entirely potential energy.
`E=U=mgh=1 times 10 times 10=100J`
