we know that potential energy is found by multiplying mass, acceleration due to gravity and height from the Earth's surface
so it will be
potential energy= mgh
80x9.8x15
= 39200 joules
the potential energy of the mental ball will be zero when kept on the Earth's surface because the height from the Earth's surface will be zero and zero multiplied to any number is zero only
I have a doubt with the second one, this is what I think it is. Consult your teacher if you think my answer for the second one is wrong
