A 120 Kg object is placed on top of a table 2.5 meters above the ground. Calculate the potential energy of the objects.

[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]

The potential energy of an object is given by

[tex]\boxed{PE = mgh}[/tex]

where:

PE = potential energy

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height

[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]

Solving for PE

PE = mgh

PE = (120 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(2.5 m)

[tex]\boxed{PE = \text{2,940 J}}[/tex]

Therefore, the potential energy of the object is 2,940 J.
