Per NCERT, what is the formula for the GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY of an object of mass m raised to height h above the surface of the Earth?
AU = m g / h
BU = mgh
CU = m + g + h
DU = ½ m g h
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. U = mgh
Per NCERT Eq. 7.8, gravitational PE = mgh (mass × gravitational acceleration × height). The other formulas misstate.
