    Answer:

    the potential energy is 114 J.

    Explanation:

    Given;

    total mechanical energy, E = 400 J

    kinetic energy, K.E = 286 J

    The potential energy is calculated as follows;

    E = K.E +  P.E

    where;

    P.E is the potential energy

    P.E = E – K.E

    P.E = 400 J – 286 J

    P.E = 114 J

    Therefore, the potential energy is 114 J.
