We are given that an acorn is about to fall from a tree. This means that the acorn is not accelerated yet and is at a height "h" from the ground. The energy associated to ab object at a certain height is:

[tex]U=mgh[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\text{ mass} \\ g=\text{ acceleration of gravity} \\ h=\text{ height} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The energy "U" is called Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE).
