On which body would a 30 kg bowling ball have the least gravitational
potential energy when lifted to a height of 1 m?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Pluto

because the the gravitation strength is small, so it will be accelerating slow

Pluto will have  least gravitational potential energy when lifted to a height of 1 m

What is Gravitational potential energy ?

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present in a gravitational field.

Gravitation potential energy can be calculated by = m*g*h

where

m = mass of the object /body

g = acceleration due to gravity at that place

h = height of the object

since , mass and height are constant as mass can not be changed , it remain same irrespective of place, hence mass = 30kg and height = 1m

so , the Gravitation potential energy will depend upon gravitational force

Gravitation Potential energy  is directly proportional to acceleration due to gravity  at that place , hence gravitational  potential energy will least at that place where  acceleration due to gravity is least which is Pluto having least value of acceleration due to gravity  = 0.42 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
