(I WILL GIVE OUT BRAINLIEST) Two objects were lifted by a machine. One object had a mass of 2 kilograms, and was lifted at a speed of 2 m/sec. The other had a mass of 4 kilograms and was lifted at a rate of 3 m/sec. Which object had more potential energy when it was lifted to a distance of 10 meters?

Answer:

Consinder the first body

[tex]potential \: energy = mgh \\ = 2 \times 10 \times 10 \\ = 200 \: joules[/tex]

Consider the second body

[tex]potential \: energy = mgh \\ = 4 \times 10 \times 10 \\ = 400 \: joules[/tex]

The body of mass 4 kg had the greater potential energy than the body of 2 kg
