Q:

The formula E= mgh, where E = gravitational potential energy, m = mass, g = gravity, and h = height, is used to calculate gravitational potential energy. Solve this formula for h. h = E − mg h equals E over m times g h = E + mg h equals m times g over E Will give the first correct answer brain

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: SECOND OPTION.Step-by-step explanation: You have the following formula given in the exercise, which is used to calculate gravitational potential energy. [tex]E= mgh[/tex] You need to solve for the heigh "h". Remembar that the Division property of Equality  states that: If [tex]a=b[/tex], then [tex]\frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}[/tex] Therefore, you can divide both sides of the equation by [tex]mg[/tex] in order to solve for "h". Then, you get: [tex]E= mgh\\\\\frac{E}{mg}=\frac{ mgh}{mg}\\\\h=\frac{E}{mg}[/tex] Notice that it matches with the second option.
