1. What is the potential energy of a 4-kilogram potted plant that is on a 1 meter-high plant

stand?

39.2 J

Explanation:

Step 1:

To find the potential energy the following formula is used.

Potential Energy = m * g * h

Where,

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height

Step 2:

Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m

Potential Energy = (4 * 9.8 * 1)

= 39.2 J
