Calculations for kinetic and potential energy

1.A stone of mass 20 kg is released from a height of 5 m above the ground. Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the stone at the point of release. Take g = 10 m/s2.

2.From the Form 3 textbook pg 76 no 1:

Calculate the kinetic energy of a body of mass 10 kg moving at 5 m/s.
