If a 15 kg object is dropped from a height of 20 m, what is its potential energy just before it hits the ground?
Potential Energy – Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field, calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
