Question

The formula E= mgh, where E = gravitational potential energy, m = mass, g = gravity, and h = height, is used to calculate gravitational potential energy. Solve this formula for h.

Answer 1

You just need to divide both sides by mg:

`E=mgh \iff (E)/(mg) = (mgh)/(mg)`

This simplifies mg on the right side:

`(E)/(mg)=h`

thus solving the equation for h

Answer 2

h = E/mg

Explanation:

When we want to find out the multiplier, we should devide the product by the others known factors
