Question

Calculate the energy possessed by a stone of mass 10 kg kept at a height of 5m.

Answer 1

Energy possesed due to configuration is potential energy.
Thus energy possesed = mass*gravity*height
mass = 10 kg
gravity = 10
height = 5m
Thus energy = mgh
=10*10*5
=500 J

Answer 2

Answer:

Concept : To solve this question we need the concept of potential energy.

Given : stone of mass 10 kg kept at a height of 5m.

To Find : Total energy Possessed by that stone.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that any object which exist in this world which have mass and in steady position will have a generated energy know as potential energy.

So , In order to calculate the energy possessed by the stone kept at a height of 5 m we need potential energy equation which is

Potential energy = Mass * Gravity * Height.

Here, mass = 10 kg

Gravity constant is = $9.8 m/s^{2}$

Height = 5 m

By putting this value into the equation we get ,

Potential energy = 10 * 9.8 * 5

                             = $50 * \frac{98}{10}$

                             $= 98 * 5$

                             = 490 J

∴ The potential energy possessed by the stone is 490 J.
