Answer: A
Potential energy = 14.7 J
Explanation:
Given that the
Mass M = 5 kg
Height h = 0.3 m
Let us take acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^2
Potential energy = mgh
Substitute all the parameters into the formula above
P.E = 5 × 9.81 × 0.3
P.E = 14.715 J
P.E = 14.7 J approximately
The correct option is therefore A
