Question

When is the potential energy of your body the least?

Hint:

Potential energy is calculated as \(\text{PE} = mgh\), where \(m\) is mass, \(g\) is gravity, and \(h\) is height. At ground level, \(h = 0\), so PE is least.

Answer 1

The potential energy of your body is least when you are lying on the ground because potential energy is directly related to height, and when you're at ground level, the height is zero.
