To calculate the potential energy of the object, we can use the formula:
Ep = m * g * h
Where: Ep is the potential energy m is the mass of the object (in kg) g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2) h is the height of the object (in meters)
Given: m = 10 kg h = 15 m
Let's substitute these values into the formula:
Ep = 10 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 15 m Ep = 1473 kg m^2/s^2
Therefore, the potential energy of the object is 1473 Joules.
