    The document provides three examples of calculating potential energy from height for different objects: a 1.5kg book falling from a 2.65m bookshelf, a 4kg stone falling from the edge of a 50m hill, and a 500g fruit hanging from a 2m tree branch. It then provides two additional practice problems: calculating the potential energy of a 10kg monkey jumping from a 4m wall, and the potential energy of a 3kg cart loaded with a brick and pulled to a height of 0.45m on an inclined plane.

    1. Calculate the potential energy of a 1.

    5 kg book
    which is about to fall from the top of a 2.65 m
    bookshelf.
    2. A stone of mass 4 kg, resting at the edge of the
    hill having a height of 50 m is about to fall.
    Calculate the potential energy of a stone right
    before it falls off the hill.
    3.What is the potential energy of a 500g fruit
    hanging from a tree branch that is about to fall
    from the height of 2 m?
    SEATWORK:
    1. One monkey of mass 10 kg sitting on the edge of a wall is
    about to jump from the height of 4 m. Calculate the
    potential energy of the monkey.
    2. A cart is loaded with a brick and pulled at constant speed
    along an inclined plane to the height of a seat-top. If the
    mass of the loaded cart is 3.0 kg and the height of the
    seat top is 0.45 meters, then what is the potential energy
    of the loaded cart at the height of the seat-top?
    3. How much potential energy is used to raise an object
    with mass of 50 kg to a height of 10m?
