A meteor falls toward Earth's surface. Given that the acceleration due to
gravity is 9.8 m/s^2, what is the meteor's potential energy if it has a mass of 10
kg at an altitude of 400 m?
O A. 408 J
O B. 7,840,000 J
O C. 2J
O D. 39,200 J

Potential Energy that depend upon the relative position of various parts of system . It is an energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position or configuration.

mass(m) = 10kg

g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.8m/s^2

altitude(height (h)) = 400m

Meteor's Potential energy = m * g * h

= 10 * 9.8 * 400 = 39200 J

correct option will be a) 39200 J
