Two bodies A and B of masses 10 kg and 20 kg respectively are at the s

1.	Two bodies A and B of masses 10 kg and 20 kg respectively are at the same height above the ground. Which of the two has the greater potential energy ?
Answer» The body B having mass 20 kg has the greater potential energy. This can be explained as follows : P.E. = mgh . For both the bodies gravity and height are same so the body with greater mass possesses greater potential energy.

Answer»

The body B having mass 20 kg has the greater potential energy. This can be explained as follows :

P.E. = mgh .

For both the bodies gravity and height are same so the body with greater mass possesses greater potential energy.
