Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Potential Energy

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a force field or its configuration. The most common type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, which depends on the height of an object above a reference point and the gravitational force acting on it.

Step 2: Formula for Gravitational Potential Energy

The formula for gravitational potential energy (\(PE\)) is given by:

\[ PE = mgh \]

where:

  • \(m\) is the mass of the object,
  • \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately \(9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2\) on Earth),
  • \(h\) is the height of the object above the reference point.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration.}}\)

Which of the following is not a piece of evidence supporting the idea that Europa may have a subsurface ocean? Photos of Europa's surface show regions that appear to consist of jumbled icebergs frozen in place. Europa's surface shows few impact craters. Astronomers have detected small lakes of liquid water on Europa's surface. Europa has a magnetic field that appears to be induced by Jupiter's magnetic field.
