JAMB 2022 - Question 37
Physics 2022 JAMB Past Questions - Question 37: Find the potential energy of an object of mass 10kg placed on a building floor 10m above the ground level. [g=10m-2]
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
D
Explanation
The potential energy of an object near the surface of the Earth can be calculated using the formula:
Potential Energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height
In this case, the mass of the object is 10 kg, the height is 10 m, and the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.
So, the potential energy of the object is:
Potential Energy = 10 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 10 m = 981 Joules
