SOLUTION: Show that the change in gradational potential energy from h1 to h2 is given by ΔEp = -mgsSinΘ. Gravitational potential energy = mgh (mass, gravitational field strength, height)

Question 1186040: Show that the change in gradational potential energy from h1 to h2 is given by ΔEp = -mgsSinΘ. Gravitational potential energy = mgh (mass, gravitational field strength, height)
