Which object has the most gravitational potential energy? Select the correct answer below:
a) an airplane in mid-flight
b) a baseball held by a pitcher
c) a bird on top of a flagpole
d) these objects all have the same gravitational potential energy

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) an airplane in mid-flight

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is defined by

[tex]E_{potential} =m*g*h[/tex]

where m is the mass of the object;

g is the gravitational acceleration;

an h is the height of the object;

For the examples, the highest value in potential energy will be for the airplane, because it has the more mass and the higher altitude by far in relation to the baseball or the bird.

Answer:

a) an airplane in mid-flight

Potential energy can be defined as the energy possessed by a body as result of its relative position with other bodies.

Potential energy is calculated by taking the mass, gravitational force and height into consideration.

Potential energy = m*g*h where m is mass, g is gravitational force and h is height.

The options include the airplane in mid-flight, a baseball held by a pitcher and bird on  a flagpole. The airplane in mid-flight is the right choice because it possesses a greater mass and height. This is why it has the most gravitational potential energy.
