A 20 kg mass is held above the ground What is the approximate potential energy of the mass with respect to the ground?
The potential energy, expressed in joules, is 196 times its height above ground, expressed in meters.
What is your gravitational potential energy standing on the ground?
With respect to the bottom of a hole in the ground, it's some positive amount. With respect to the roof of your house, it's some negative amount. And with respect to the ground, it's zero.
What is the gravitational potential energy of a a cat that weighs 20 N standing on a couch that is 0.5 m above the ground?
10 newton-meters with respect to the ground
What is the potential energy at the ground?
Potential energy depends upon the datum(initial condition ) chosen.If we take ground as datum potential energy is zero
What is the gravitational potential energy of a 742 kg wrecking ball at 5 meters above the ground?
Potential energy = (weight) x (height) = (mass x gravity) x (height) = (742 x 9.8) x (5) = 36,358 joules(with respect to the ground)

How do the different forms of potential energy depend on an objects position?
Potential energy of a body with certain mass is proportional to the vertical position of the body with respect to the ground. Potential energy of the string is proportional to second degree of displacement from the point of equilibrium.

Eddie tosses his phone up to his friend's window which is 4 m above the ground. What energy conversion takes place with respect to the phone?
Kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy

What are the differences between voltage and potential difference?
Voltage is the potential difference to the ground. By convention, ground potential is zero volt.The above answer is incorrect. 'Voltage', by definition, is potential difference. It has nothing to do with being measured with respect to ground -in fact potential difference (voltage) cannot be measured with respect to anything.
How does a wooden arrow lying on the ground have potential energy?
No , it won't have potential energy. Potential energy is due to height.
A picture hanging on the wall has what energy?
It is higher from ground thus it contain potential energy.
What is the potential energy on ground?
Zero
What is energy stored energy?
Potential
