Abox slides from the top of ramp, to the bottom, its maximum potential energy is located?

at the top
at the bottom
equal to all locations

At the top

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the box is given by:

where

m is the mass of the box

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the box above the ground

As we can see, the potential energy of the box is directly proportional to the height above the ground, h. Therefore, the box will have its maximum potential energy when h is maximum, which means when the box is at the top of the ramp.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
