The flower pot's energy is measured in potential energy since it is remaining stationary and the energy is stored, the flowerpot is not moving about so it is not kinetic energy.
The formula for potential energy is:
GPE = mgh
The m stands more mass, the g stands for gravitational energy (9.8m/s^2) and the h stands for height.
Our values for the following terms are:
M = 1.5kg
G = 9.8m/s^2
H = 30 meters
Now, we can plug it into our formula to solve for the amount of potential energy.
GPE = 1.5(9.8)(30)
First, let's multiply the gravitational energy and the height.
30 x 9.8 = 294
Then, multiply the mass by the result.
1.5 x 294 = 441
Therefore, the potential energy of the flowerpot is 441J.
