How do you solve potential energy?

Answer 1

Kinetic energy is 1/2 x m x v^2 (one half x mass x velocity squared) There are lots of different kinds of potential energy, each kind has its own formula. The one you probably mean is gravitational potential energy. This is m x g x y (mass x acceleration due to gravity x height) or also w x y (weight x height). The height is usually measured from the ground.

Answer 2

This seems to be a badly worded question. What is required?

Potential Energy is one form of energy; heat and electricity are two more. It is not possible to "solve" any of them. They are not problems or equations.

Answer 3

Potential Energy(in joules) = mass(kg) * g(gravitational acceleration) * h(height)

PE = mgh

Answer 4

Hi! I'm Eirina

To solve potential energy, you need to apply this formula:-

mass * gravity * height i.e. m*g*h.

Hope it was HELPFUL!

Answer 5

Potential Energy: U = m*g*h (mass times the gravity constant times height)

Kinetic Energy: KE = 1/2*m*v2 (1/2 times mass times velocity squared)

Both measured in joules.

Answer 6

-- Measure or calculate the object's kinetic energy.

-- Measure or calculate the object's potential energy.

-- Add the two numbers.
