Question

how much potential energy is present in a stone kept on the earth surface ? why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In general, we define a potential energy relative to a zero at some point. Therefore, if we say there is zero potential energy on the surface of the Earth, the stone has zero potential energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

PE = 0 J

Explanation:

The Potential energy is the energy by the virtue of the position of the body.

expression of potential energy

    PE = m g h

where h is the height of the body.

When the body is kept at the surface there height of the stone is equal to zero.

PE = m g x 0

PE = 0 J

hence, if the height of the stone is zero then Potential energy is equal to zero.
