NEET Physics Potential Energy MCQ Question
What does the gravitational potential energy of an object at height h represent when the object is released?
It transforms into kinetic energy as the object falls.
It remains constant regardless of height.
It decreases linearly with height.
It becomes zero when the object is at rest.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The gravitational potential energy at height h manifests itself as kinetic energy of the object when it reaches the ground, as indicated by the equation 1/2 mv^2 = mgh.
