Example 1:<br />

A 3.00kg box is lifted by an upward force 1.50m above the surface<br />

of earth to the top of a table. What is the potential energy of the<br />

box in its new position?<br />

Ep = mgh<br />

= 3.00kg x 9.81m/s2 x 1.50m<br />

= 44.1 J<br />

The gravitational potential energy of the box is<br />

now 44.1 J.
