2 Select all the correct answers. A worker is holding a filled gas cylinder still. Which two sentences are true about the energy of the filled gas cylinder? It has no energy because it’s being held still. It has gravitational potential energy because of its height. Its atoms and molecules have thermal energy. It has motion energy because it will fall if let go. Its kinetic energy is being converted to potential energy.

at positions a, g kinetic energy is maximum.

at position d, potential energy is maximum.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
