ear. Write its two characteristics
39. Lift an object through a certain height. The object can now do work. It
4
begins to fall when released. This implies that it has acquired some energy.
If raised to a greater height it can do more work and hence possesses more
energy. From where did it get the energy? In the above situations, the
energy gets stored due to the work done on the object. The energy
transferred to an object is stored as potential energy if it is not used to
cause a change in the velocity or speed of the object. An object increases its
energy when raised through a height. This is because work is done on it
against gravity while it is being raised. The energy present in such an object
is the gravitational potential energy. The gravitational potential energy of an
object at a point above the ground is defined as the work done in raising it
from the ground by height h to that point against gravity. Let the work done
Class IX/ Science Page 6 of 7
 on the object against gravity be W. That is,
work done, W = force × displacement = mg × h
Therefore, potential energy (PE)= mg*h.
(a) Energy possessed by body due to its position is called -------
(b)You do work while winding the key of a toy car. Write the type of energy
conversion.
(c) Find the energy possessed by an object of mass 5kg when it is at a
height of 10 m above the ground. Given, g = 9.8 m/s 2.
OR
(c) Find the work done by Gravity on an object of mass 5 kg which moves
from height 10m to ground when it is released from height of 10 m.
Given, g = 9.8 m/s2.
