    Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg

    Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m

    Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

    To find: The change in potential energy of the stone

    Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh

    where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.

    Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone

    Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)

    or, = 0.5 kg * 9.8 m/s² * (2.0 m - 1.0 m)

    or, = 4.9 J

    Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J
