Arock at the edge of a 200-m high cliff has more potential energy than an equal sized rock at the edge of a 600-m high cliff. true or false

The given statement is False.

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy possessed due to the height of the object.

Mathematically,

where,

= potential energy of the rock

m = mass of the rock

g = acceleration due to gravity =

h = height of the cliff from where the rock is thrown

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

So,

Potential energy of the rock at 600-m high cliff is more than the potential energy of the rock at 200-m high cliff

Hence, the given statement is False.
