What is the gravatational potential energy of a rock with a mass of 15 kg sitting on a bank 25m above the bottom of a creek?

Use the formula PE = mgh (gravitational potential energy = mass x gravity x height). You can use 9.8 [meters/second2] for gravity. The answer will be in joules.

A statue has a mass of 14 kg on a shelf it sits 2m from the fround what is the gravatational potential energy?
The statue has 274.4 joules of gravatational potential energyrelative to the fround.
What type of energy does sitting use?
potential
Why do waves carry?
waves carry by energy and the energy is gravatational
Why does an object sitting on top of a ledge have potential energy?
Whether it has (gravitational) potential energy or not depends on what level you (arbitrarily) define as zero. If you define the bottom of the ledge as the "zero" level, then the top of the ledge will have positive energy. If you define the top of the ledge as the "zero" level, then the object on the top of the ledge will have zero potential energy (and at the bottom of the ledge it will have negative potential energy). In any case, at the top of a ledge, an object will have more potential energy than at the bottom of the ledge, because it requires work to push the object up; also, in principle the potential energy can be recovered (converted to some other type of energy) if the object falls down.
How is a ball on a hill gravitational energy?
the object has a potential energy relative to , for example, the bottom of the hill, or the bottom of the slide.
Is a bird sitting on a wire potential energy?
yes, as long as the wire is off the ground, the bird will have gravatational energy as it has the possibility to do something while falling. One could even argue that a bird flying has both kinetic and gravatational potential energy. i hope that clears things up!
What is the SI unit for Gravatational Potential Energy?
Joule
A statue has a mass of 14 kg on a shelf it sits 2m from the fround what is the gravatational potential energy?
The statue has 274.4 joules of gravatational potential energyrelative to the fround.
Is gravatational energy kinetic or potential energy?
Gravatational and Potential Energys are the same, they simply both have the potential to fall (its higher up) and Kintic Energy is was is created when for example a roller coaster moves?! I has Kinetic Energy and some is lost throughout sound and heat as thats is another type pf energy that is created when a roller coaster moves.
What are examples of forms of energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy are two forms of energy. Potential energy is stored energy and is the energy of position; gravitational energy is an example of potential energy. Kinetic energy is the motion of waves, molecules, objects, and substances.
Is it true that a car sitting at the bottom of the ramp has potential energy?
It depends on where the zero potential energy level is taken. If it is the ground, and the car is at the bottom of a ramp ON A TABLE, then it will have Ep. If the bottom of the ramp was taken as the zero Ep level, then it will have zero Ep.
What type of energy does sitting use?

What type of energy does a pebble sitting on the top of a mountain have?
It has potential energy.
What form of energy is a bolder sitting on a cliff?
The type of energy of a boulder sitting on a cliff is potential energy. Potential energy is possible energy as opposed to actual energy. If it were to start rolling down the hill, the energy would change to kinetic energy.
