The potential energy of a 50 newton object resting on the edge of a cliff 30 meters high is?

The word in your question that I keyed on is "resting". An object at rest has zero kinetic energy. If you meant potential energy, the answer is 1500 joules.

What is potential and potential difference?

You can compare 'potential' with the height of an object, and 'potential difference' with the difference in height between two objects.Height is not absolute, we always specify height with respect to some point of reference, such as 'sea level'. Objects above sea level we can designate as, for example, plus 1000 metres; objects below sea level we can designate as, for example, minus 500 metres.The difference in height between these to objects will be +1000 - (-500) = 1500 metres.In much the same way, potential depends upon from where it is measured. In many cases, we measure potential with respect to earth, although we could use any other reference point, in which case its potential would be different. For example one object may have a potential of +1000 V with respect to earth, while another has a potential of -500 V with respect to earth.The potential difference between these two objects will be +1000 - (-500) = 1500 V.To summarise, potential exists at a single point, and is always measured with respect to another point, such as earth. Potential is always assigned a polarity with respect to its point of reference. Potential difference is the difference in the potentials at two different points, and does not have polarity assigned to it (do not confuse 'sense' -the direction in which it acts- with 'polarity').Finally, 'voltage' is another name for potential difference, not potential. It would be incorrect to ask "What is the voltage at this point with respect to earth".


Why 2 objects at the same temperature will have different amounts of energy if one has a larger mass?

All objects have a specific heat capacity, the amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of one gram of the object by one degree centigrade. Therefore, if an object has a specific heat capacity of say, 500 joules, and you wanted to heat 3 grams of that object by 1 degree, you would need 1500 joules of energy. But if you put that 1500 joules of energy into only 1 gram of the object, you would heat it by 3 degrees.

What is the potential energy og a 50 newton object resting on the edge of a cliff of a 30 meter cliff?

The potential energy (PE) of an object can be calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²), and h is the height. In this case, since the weight of the object is given as 50 newtons, we can use this directly. The potential energy of the 50 newton object at a height of 30 meters is PE = 50 N × 30 m = 1500 joules.
