Question

What is the potential energy of your 3 kg puppy that is sitting in the grass in your backyard?

Answer 1

As we know that

P.E. = mgh

where,

P.E. = Potential energy of the object =?

m= mass of object= 3kg

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 ms^-2

h = height between object and animal = 0 m

Then

P.E. = 3× 9.8 × 0 = 0 Joules or 0J

Have a luvely day!
