PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, g is 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters.

PE = 5.0kg x 9.8m/s2 x 2.0m = 98kg•m2/s2 = 98 Joules

Potential Energy is defined by the equation Ep = mgh

so:

Ep = mgh

Ep = (0.5)(9.81)(2)

Ep = 9.81 Joules

Sitting down at a table not moving what kind of energy exists?

There is potential energy, which is non-zero if you are above ground level (or above, or below, any other reference level you choose).


What is an example of pontenial energy?

Imagine a plate sitting on a table. Becasue it isn't moving, the plate has potential energy. It has energy overall because it has mass, is in an environment with gravity, and is above the ground. These three factors multiplied will give you your potential energy.


How does potential energy vary height?

The higher above the ground an object is, the greater its potential energy.
