What is the potential energy of a vessel with water at a height of 80 cm if the mass of the vessel is 200 g?

h = 80 cm = 0.8 m.

g = 9.8 m / s2.

m = 200 g = 0.2 kg.

Ep -?

The potential energy of a body Ep of mass m, which was raised to a height h above the earth’s surface, is determined by the formula: Ep = m * g * h, where g is the acceleration of gravity.

Ep = 0.2 kg * 9.8 m / s2 * 0.8 m = 1.568 J.

Answer: a vessel with water has a potential energy of Ep = 1.568 J.
