g You have previously determined that this system is isolated. This means that the total energy of the plate/point charge system remains at a constant value. As the point charge accelerates away from the charged plate, the kinetic energy of the point charge increases. For the total energy of the system to remain the same, another form of energy must decrease. What form of energy of the system is decreasing

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.
