Question

Which of these has the least amount of potential energy?
A. climbing up the hill
B. at the top of the hill
C. half-way down the hill
D. at the bottom of the hill

Answer 1

What do you think?

Answer 2

Climbing up the hill.

Answer 3

If something is increasing in height, what happens to the potential energy?

Answer 4

Converts to kinetic.

Answer 5

\[PE_{g} = m g h\]

Where,
m = mass
g = gravity
h = height

If there is more height, than there is more what?

Answer 6

PEg = Potential Energy Gravitational

Answer 7

There is more pressure

Answer 8

There is more PEg

Answer 9

So if you want the least amount of PEg, what do you want?
