It is the same - work done is weight x height and potential energy change is the same at the new height
All bodies with mass are attracted to the Earth by gravity, so when a body is raised you must do work to raise it. This work is equal to force x height, if force is in Newtons and height in meters, the work is in units of Joules.
Yes, that can be done. Mass measurements are done indirectly; in theory the mass can be determined via an object's weight, or experiments with acceleration (using Newton's Second Law).
Are you the right weight for your height? It's important to know if you're the right weight for your height. This can be done by calculatating your BMI.

If you are not done growing, you will probably get taller but that height gain will not be related to weight loss. In fact, weight loss shouldn't affect growth in height UNLESS the weight loss is unhealthy weight loss resulting in malnutrition - in which case the result could be less growth in height.

The answer is 0. If you used the formula of =>mgh, you would get a value which would be wrong. The question is a trick question. There is no work done in 'holding' an object but work would be done in 'lifting' an object. Hence, 0. ~Dartz
because the work done in placing that object at a height is stored in it as the potential energy....
The object may move against a force, for example be raised against gravity, or it may accelerate ie go faster, or it may get warmer for example by friction.
The potential energy of the book on the shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. This is because the potential energy of an object at a certain height is equivalent to the work done against gravity to lift it to that height.
