Homework Statement

The equation for potential energy, PE, of a mass m and at height h, where the acceleration due to gravity is g, is PE =m*g*h. Solve for h.

* = multiply

If someone could please tell me how to work it out and not tell me the answer i'd be very appreciative as i joined this forum to learn and not to get answers.

There's a couple ways you could do this. Is the object moving at all or is it standing still?


IF:

It is moving, set GPE equal to KE and isolate h.

It is stationary, just isolate h in the equation PE = mgh

To solve for h, you can divide both sides of the equation by mg, which will cancel out the mg on the right side and leave you with h.
