A 20 kg mass is held 4 m above the ground What is the approximate potential energy of the mass with respect to the ground?

The mass' approximate potential energy at four meters is 784 joules.


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.


Is potential energy in a screwdriver?

Yes, a screwdriver has potential energy when it is lifted above the ground as a result of its position with respect to the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the screwdriver is used to drive a screw into a material.


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.


Does A boulder perched on a hill have kinetic energy?

Yes, the boulder perched on a hill has potential energy due to its position with respect to the ground. If the boulder rolls down the hill, its potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy as it gains speed.


What is the potential energy at the ground?

The potential energy at ground level is typically zero, as the reference point for potential energy calculations is often set at ground level. This means that any object at ground level would have zero potential energy due to its height above the ground.


A picture hanging on the wall has what energy?

It is higher from ground thus it contain potential energy.


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.


Does a rock have potential and kinetic energy as it hits the ground?

When a ball is about to fall it has potential energy because of its height.When a ball is about to hit the ground it still has some potential energy since it has't hit the ground yet, but much less than it had when it started falling.


Is anything that lifted off the ground has potential energy?

Yes, anything that is lifted off the ground gains potential energy due to its height above the Earth's surface. This potential energy can be converted into other forms of energy when the object falls back to the ground.
