$A body of mass m = 5 kg is raised to a height h = 10 m above the ground. What is the change in its gravitational potential energy? (Take g = 10 m/s^{2})$

A. $50 J$
B. $100 J$
C. $500 J$
D. $1000 J$

Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: C — $500 J$

Solution

$Use the formula Δ U = m g h .$
$Substitute the given values m = 5 kg, g = 10 m/s^{2}, and h = 10 m .$
$Calculate Δ U = 5 \times 10 \times 10 = 500 J .$
$Hence the answer is (C).$
