An object of mass m is held at a vertical height h from ground level. It is then released and falls under the influence of gravity. Which of the following statements is true in this situation?

a. The total energy of the object isdecreasing.
b. The kinetic energy ofthe object is decreasing.
c. The total energy of theobject is increasing.
d. The potential energy ofthe object is decreasing.
e. The kinetic energy ofthe object is increasing.

multiply 2kg by latent heat of vap

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.

one person pulls 90n one way and the other has 100n pulling the other way.

so the net force = 90 - 100 = -10n,

or the ans can be 10n if the picture shows -90n and 100n instead.
