A 59.31 kg rock is sitting at the top of a cliff that is 300 m tall. What is the gravitational potential energy of that rock?

The gravitational potential energy of that rock is 174371.4 J.

Explanation:

Given

To determine

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the rock

We know that the potential energy of a body is termed as the stored energy due to its position.

One kind of energy comes from Earth's gravity — Gravitational potential energy (GPE).

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) can be determined using the formula

where

now substituting m = 59.31, h = 300 and g = 9.8

          J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of that rock is 174371.4 J.
