By general agreement, it is conventional to think of ground, or earth, as being at zero volts.

What is the potential energy at the ground?
Potential energy depends upon the datum(initial condition ) chosen.If we take ground as datum potential energy is zero
What are the differences between voltage and potential difference?
Voltage is the potential difference to the ground. By convention, ground potential is zero volt.The above answer is incorrect. 'Voltage', by definition, is potential difference. It has nothing to do with being measured with respect to ground -in fact potential difference (voltage) cannot be measured with respect to anything.
What is the potential energy on ground?
Zero
How does a wooden arrow lying on the ground have potential energy?
No , it won't have potential energy. Potential energy is due to height.
A picture hanging on the wall has what energy?
It is higher from ground thus it contain potential energy.
What is the potential energy of a kg box on the ground?
The potential energy of the box on the ground is considered to be zero. Potential energy is the energy that is stored within an object due to its position or state. Since the box is already at ground level, it does not possess any potential energy.
Does a rock have potential and kinetic energy as it hits the ground?
When a ball is about to fall it has potential energy because of its height.When a ball is about to hit the ground it still has some potential energy since it has't hit the ground yet, but much less than it had when it started falling.
Which has more gravitational potential a bird on the ground or the same bird in a tree?
a bird on the ground
A 20 kg mass is held above the ground What is the approximate potential energy of the mass with respect to the ground?
The potential energy, expressed in joules, is 196 times its height above ground, expressed in meters.
When an object is lifted 6 feet off the ground it gains a certain amount of potential energy If the same object is lifted 12 feet off the ground its potential energy is?
Double the first potential energy.
What is gravity potential energy?
When an object is lifted from the ground, it has potential energy because of it's position.
How does potential energy vary height?
The higher above the ground an object is, the greater its potential energy.
