During a solar eclipse, you have the opportunity to observe stars around the periphery of the sun with a telescope. which of the following is an observation that you would expect to make? a. the starlight is decentralized. b. the starlight is defocused. c. the starlight is deflected. d. the starlight is depressed.

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.
