MCQ

The unit of potential energy is

A
$g\left( cm / sec ^2\right)$
✓
$g ( cm / sec )^2$
C
$g\left( cm ^2 / sec \right)$
D
$g( cm / sec )$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$g ( cm / sec )^2$

(b) Potential energy $=m g h=g\left(\frac{\mathrm{cm}}{\mathrm{sec}^2}\right) \mathrm{cm=g\left(\frac{\mathrm{cm}}{\mathrm{sec}}\right)^2$
