You kneed to know a formula for the potential energy

unklerhaukus · Answer

U=...

chmvijay · Answer

potential energy = mgh
g=9.8 h = height
m = mass of that partilce

anonymous · Answer

Mass x Acceleration of Gravity x Height?

unklerhaukus · Answer

yes

chmvijay · Answer

yup:)

ja1 · Answer

Have I ever mentioned how much I love OpenStudy :)

anonymous · Answer

if the level from which the height is measured, be taken as the zero potential configuration, the potential energy is the product of mass x acc. due to gravity x height of the object.

Alrighty i think i got it from here, thank you all @chmvijay, @ Abhishek619 and @UnkleRhaukus  :)
@JA1 i love it too :)

Wish i can give multiple best responses/.\

chmvijay · Answer

yaaa if the particle is beneath the surface of earth(Depth) -ve sign is used before mgh and if it is above the ground level then +ve sign is used :)

Thank you @chmvijay Hey can yall give each other medals for me?:) I want all of you all to get a medal/.\
