Use the formula PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height). If mass is in kilograms, gravity in meters/second2 (the value is about 9.8), and the height is in meters, the answer will be in joules.
39.2 joules of potential energy.
A 1-newton book at 4 meters gains approximately 4 joules of potential energy.
Use the formula PE = mgh, that is, potential energy = mass x gravity x height. If mass is in kg, gravity = about 9.8 meters per second square, and height is in meters, then the answer will be in Joules.
The book's potential energy is 294 joules.
You need to multiply the force by the distance.

The 7.75kg book as a PE of 113.93 joules and the 9.53kg book has a PE of 163.44 joules. A difference of 49.51 joules.
The book has a mass of 0.46kg
Potential energy takes many different definitions, but the most common is due to gravity. Say move a book from the floor to a shelf that is one meter above the ground. The book has a mass of 2 kilograms. While the book is on the floor, it has zero potential energy. Since potential energy is defined as the height times the mass times the gravitational constant, and height is equal to zero at that point, there is no potential energy. But when it is moved to one meter high, the math goes as follows: 1 meter X 2 kilograms X 9.8 meters per second squared(The gravitaional Constant) = 19.6 Joules(The unit of potential energy).
E=mgh E=1.5x10x2 E=30J
