Given the equation PE = mgh, when calculating potential energy, which of the following statements is NOT true for calculating potential energy?

a
Potential energy is measured in Newtons (N)
b
Height does not matter
c
All of the above are true statements when calculating PE
d
Mass does not matter

1 answer

a) Potential energy is not measured in Newtons (N). It is measured in joules (J).

Therefore, the statement that is NOT true is a).
