To calculate the potential energy (Ep) of an object with a mass of 10 kg positioned at a height of 15 m above the ground, we can use the formula:
Ep = mgh
where: m = mass of the object (10 kg) g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2) h = height above the ground (15 m)
Plugging in the values into the formula:
Ep = 10 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 15 m Ep = 1473 J
Therefore, the potential energy of the object is 1473 Joules.
