  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 2 kg block is lifted 5 m vertically. What is the gain in gravitational potential energy? (g = 10 m/s²)

    • A) 50 J
    • B) 100 J
    • C) 150 J
    • D) 200 J

    Answer: 100 J

    Explanation: Gain in GPE = mgh = 2 kg × 10 m/s² × 5 m = 100 J. Option A fails due to incorrect calculation.
