What is the potential energy of a body weighing 500 g, raised to a height of 2 m from the earth’s surface?

The potential energy of the body is determined by the formula:
Ep = mgh, where m is the body mass (m = 500 g = 0.5 kg), g is the acceleration of gravity (we take g = 10 m / s ^ 2), h is the body height relative to the earth’s surface (h = 2 m ).
Let’s calculate the potential energy of the body:
Ep = mgh = 0.5 * 10 * 2 = 10 J.
Answer: The potential energy of the body is 10 J.
