Physics

To determine which object has the most gravitational potential energy, we need to calculate the gravitational potential energy for each object and compare the values.

Calculating the gravitational potential energy (GPE) for each object:

Option A

Mass = 300 kg

Height = 0.05 m

GPE = mgh = 300kg × 10m/s² × 0.05m = 150 J

Option B

Mass = 20 kg

Height = 0.5 m

GPE = mgh = 20kg × 10m/s² × 0.5m = 100 J
