What is the potential energy of a 30 Newton ball that is on the ground

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The potential energy of a 30N ball on the ground will be zero. With respect to height, h. Potential energy will be calculated like this. P=mgh. So if its on the ground relatively speaking the h=0. Thus inputting into the above formula. P=0.
