Answer

98 J\text{98 J}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Here's how to calculate the potential energy:

  1. Identify the given values.

    • Mass (mm) = 2 kg
    • Height (hh) = 5 m
    • Acceleration due to gravity (gg) = 9.8 m/s2^2 (standard value)
  2. Recall the formula for gravitational potential energy.

    PE=mghPE = mgh
  3. Substitute the values into the formula and calculate.

    PE=(2 kg)×(9.8 m/s2)×(5 m)PE = (2 \text{ kg}) \times (9.8 \text{ m/s}^2) \times (5 \text{ m}) PE=98 JPE = 98 \text{ J}

    The potential energy of the stone is 98 J\text{98 J}.
