An object is at rest on a tabletop. Earth pulls downward on this object with a force equal in magnitude to mg. What is the interaction pair to this force?.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

the closer the planet is to the sun, the larger the gravity

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.
