Solution

  1. When a flower pot is placed on the rooftop of a building it possesses gravitational potential energy because gravitational potential energy depends on mass, gravitational acceleration, and height.
  2. The formula for potential energy is given as, U=mgh

Where, U= Gravitational potential energy, m = mass, g= gravitational acceleration, and h= height

Hence the energy possessed by a flower pot placed on the rooftop of a building is gravitational potential energy.
