Question

What is the potential energy of a 2-kg vase sitting on a table with a height of 1
meter?

Answer 1

"20 J" is the "Potential Energy" of "vase" on the table.

Step-by-step explanation:

The body possess some energy according to the position of the object that is the when an object is placed at a height it stores some energy it is called "Potential Energy".

Formula used to calculate the "Potential Energy" is
`m* g * h`

Where, "m" is mass of vase is given that 2 kg, "g" is acceleration due to gravity is
`10 m/s^2` and "h" is height of the object where it placed is 1 m.

Substitute the given values in the formula,

Potential energy of the vase =
`2*10*1`

Potential energy of the vase = 20 J
