Imagine a car traveling in a straight line with the cruise control engaged. this means that the vehicle is moving with a constant speed, more specifically, constant velocity (speed and direction). this situation can be equated to a falling object at terminal velocity, where the falling speed reaches its maximum point, cannot increase. considering the car traveling at cruise control described above, the forces are balanced and therefore the net force is zero.

After reading through all of the above, I don't find a question that needs to be answered.  

But I just want to say:

Yep.  Uh huh.  Fer sher.  You are true.  Words of higher veracity are unlikely to be found. Every word of that scenario and its description is accurate, and cannot be debated or disputed in any wise.  

What's more, I agree, and I thank you for the points.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
