A 10kg object is raised to a height of 20m. What is the magnitude of its potential energy? (Assume g = 10 m/s^2)
 
(a) 500 J
 
(b) 1000 J
 
(c) 1500 J
 
(d) 2000 J

The correct answer is (d) 2000 J
 
To explain I would say: PE = m x g x h
 
m = 10 kg
 
g = 10 m/s^2
 
h = 20 m
 
PE = 10 x 10 x 20
 
 = 2000 J.
