Question

The amount of potential energy, P, an object has is equal to the product of its mass, m, its height off the ground, h, and the gravitational constant, g. This can be modeled by the equation P = mgh.

What is the equivalent equation solved for h?

= h
= h
Pmg = h
= h

Answer 1

h=P/mg is the solution

Answer 2

h= p/mg

Explanation:

The amount of potential energy, P, an object has is equal to the product of its mass, m, its height off the ground, h, and the gravitational constant, g. This can be modeled by the equation P = mgh.

P=mgh, we need to solve for h

To get 'h' alone we divide both sides by mg

`(p)/(mg) =(mgh)/(mg)`

mg gets cancelled on the right side

so h= p/mg
