Energy = Force x Distance, therefore in this case it is 134.7G x 7.19, since the force attracting a mass M to the earth is MG. Now G = 9.81 meters/sec2, so the sum comes to 134.7 x 9.81 x 7.19, and the answer is in Joules. Value of answer = 9500.9 Joules.
That's some heavy man by the way, he should diet!
No, gravitational portential energy is more with more hight and gravitational kinetic energy is maximum just before reaching the ground.
This is called potential energy. The most common form of potential energy is an object suspended above the ground. Its height gives it potential energy, which is defined as mgh, where m is the mass, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height.
For this and similar questions, use the formula PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height). If mass is in kilograms, gravity is 9.8 meters/sec2, and height is in meters, then the energy is in Joule.
Let's take an example: gravitational potential energy. An object has more potential energy if it is raised to a higher position. The energy comes from whatever raised it up, although it is also possible (as in the case of meteorites) that the object was never on the ground in the first place.Let's take an example: gravitational potential energy.

After water or anything else falls to the ground it has no potential energy anymore. When mas is elevated it has potential energy. When it falls, the potential is converted to kinetic energy. That energy is then converted to light, heat, sound or compression of the object on to which the mass fell. But then the mass has no more potential energy.
An apple hanging from a tree has gravitational potential energy...anything which could fall to the ground has gravitational potential energy
the gravitational field between earth and the apple
Well gravitational potential energy is potential energy that depends on the height of an object so an object would have gravitational potential energy when ever it's of the ground or at a high height (it doesn't have to be very high) for example if you lift up a ball it has the potential to fall or if your climbing a mountain you have gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy = Mass x gravity x heightTherefore, an object at ground level is 0 meters above the ground, thus having no potential energy.PE = mghm = massg = gravitational accelerationh = height
Potential
You are changing the object's gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to position of the object above the Earth. This energy has the potential to be transformed into Kinetic Energy if the object falls.
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
If an object is above ground level, it has positive gravitational potential energy. (This assumes you define ground level to be zero - actually, you can define any level to be zero.)
As we lift a body of mass m from ground level to a height h, then work performed will be mgh which is equal to the difference in gravitational potential energy at the ground level and at that height.
Gravitational potential energy or GPE.
Gravitational potential energy is a type of energy that an object possesses because of where it is placed in a gravitational field. The higher the object the more energy it has, so if you had an object that was on the ground and then you put it on a high shelf then it would have more energy when it is on the shelf.
