Answer:
The answer to your question is Ep = 73.6 Joules
Explanation:
Data
mass = 2.5 kg
height = 3 m
gravity = 9,81 m/s²
Potential energy = ?
Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position, the highest the object be, the highest the potential energy.
Formula
Pe = mgh
Substitution
Ep = (2.5)(9.81)(3)
Simplification and result
Ep = 73.6 Joules
