CAIE A-Level Physics AS 5.2.1 W Fs the Formula Ep Mg H for Gravitational Potential Energy Changes in Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

The change in gravitational potential energy ΔE\Delta E of an object of mass m when moving through height Δh\Delta h near the surface of the Earth is given by the equation shown.

ΔE=mgΔh\Delta E=m g \Delta h

Which equation is needed as part of the derivation of this expression?

A

kinetic energy =12×=\frac{1}{2} \times mass ×( speed )2\times(\text { speed })^{2}

B

moment = force × distance

C

weight = mass × acceleration of free fall

D

work done = power × time
