Question

The table below shows the acceleration of gravity on different bodies in the solar system.

(PLEASE HELP NEED ANSWER ASAP)

Answer 1

Do you remember the formula for potential energy ?

PE = (mass) (gravity) (height)

If the mass and the height are always the same, then the least PE comes from the least gravity. Surely you can find THAT in the table.

Answer 2

Mercury 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.

How to solve the equation?

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  = 3.56 m/s^2
