A body of mass 1 kg is lifted through a height of 1 m. The energy possessed in the body will be: (consider g = 10 ms^-2).

A body of mass 1 kg is lifted through a height of 1 m. The energy possessed in the body will be: (consider g = 10 ms^-2).

Explanation

The potential energy (PE) of an object is calculated as:

PE = mass x gravity x height

= 1 kg x 10 m/s^2 x 1 m

= 10 Joule

So, the energy possessed by the body is 10 Joule.
