An object, m = 2 kg, is dropped from the top of a building whose height is h=20 m above the ground.
Assume that g=9.8m/s2
What is its gravitational potential energy with respect to the ground?
The gravitational potential energy of the object when it is at
the top of the building is
PE = m g h
Where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to
gravity and h is the height of the building.
PE = 2 kg x 9.8 m/s2 x 20 m
PE = 392 J
When the object reaches the ground, the gravitational potential
energy becomes zero.
