Question

a student uses the simulation to make measurements of the skaters potential energy under various conditions and finds that pe is directly proportional to the mass of the skater (m) in units of kilograms (kg) and the acceleration due to gravity (g) in units of meters per second - squared (m/s²) experienced by the skater. which mathematical formula best shows the relationship between the potential energy of the skater, their mass, their height, and the acceleration due to gravity experienced by the skater? pe = mgh, pe = g/mh, pe = mg/h, pe = h/mg

Explanation:

Step1: Recall potential - energy formula

The gravitational potential energy formula is $PE = mgh$, where $m$ is the mass of the object, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and $h$ is the height of the object.

Answer:

$PE = mgh$
