The potential energy : PE = 5.88 x 10⁻³ J

Further explanation

Given

height = h = 20 cm = 0.2 m

mass = 3 grams = 3 x 10⁻³ kg

Required

The potential energy

Solution

The energy produced from its position is called potential energy (PE)  

which can be formulated as:  

PE = m. g. h

Input the value :

PE = 3 x 10⁻³ x 9.8 x 0.2

PE = 5.88 x 10⁻³ J
