Problem

A 2 kg2\,\text{kg} stone is released from rest at a height of 15 m15\,\text{m} above the ground. Taking ground level as the reference for potential energy, calculate the work done by the gravitational force on the stone when it reaches the ground. Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}.
