Not enough information - you need to know the mass of the flagstone. The idea is to use the formula for gravitational potential energy:

GPE = mgh

(The product of mass, gravity, and height). The mass should be in kilograms; gravity is about 9.8 newtons/kilogram.

What type of energy stored due to gravity and height above the ground?

Potential energy is the type of energy stored due to gravity and height above the ground. This energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work when an object is released from that height.


What increases with its height above the ground?

Potential Energy


What sort of energy is stored within an object suspended above the ground?

Potential energy is stored within an object suspended above the ground. This potential energy is due to the force of gravity acting on the object, creating the potential for it to fall and convert that potential energy into kinetic energy.


A picture hanging on the wall has what energy?

It is higher from ground thus it contain potential energy.


What type of energy does a boulder have as it sits on the top of a cliff 30 feet above the ground?

Gravitational potential energy as work is to be done to shift to such a height


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.


What is energy stored energy?

What is the potential energy of 0.5 kg ball sitting on A table 1 m above the ground?

The potential energy of a 0.480kg bird sitting 22.8m above the ground is 107.25 joules


What type of energy does a pencil have?

A pencil has potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the pencil is dropped and accelerates towards the ground.


How can potential energy be increased and decreased?

Potential energy is pretty much the potential for kinetic energy. The less kinetic energy there is, the more potential... On the other hand, if you need gravitational potential energy, then the higher the object is placed above the ground, the more GPE it has.


Do a glass have potential energy?

Yes, a glass can have potential energy when it is lifted above ground level. The potential energy is stored in the glass due to its position relative to the ground, and it can be converted into kinetic energy if the glass is dropped.


When a rock is held above the ground you say it has some potential energy When you let it go it falls and you say the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy Finally the rock hits the ground W?

Yes, when the rock is held above the ground, it possesses potential energy due to its position. As it falls, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When the rock hits the ground, this kinetic energy is transferred into other forms of energy, such as sound and heat.
