Q: Potential energy is equal to-
  • A. m(-g)h
  • B. mgh
  • C. Fs
  • D. 1/2mv ²
Correct Answer: Option B - The energy that is accumulated due to the position or distorted state in an object is called potential energy. If a mass of m kg is raised to h height above the earth, the gravitational potential energy contained in the object is- U=mgh
