The formula to calculate the Increase in Potential Energy (dPE) is:
dPE=m⋅g⋅(H2−H1)
Where:
The increase in potential energy is the additional energy an object gains due to a change in its height in a gravitational field. It is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object, the acceleration due to gravity, and the difference in height.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
dPE=10⋅9.81⋅(10−2)=10⋅9.81⋅8=784.8 J
The Increase in Potential Energy (dPE) is 784.8 J.
