    Answer:

    19,600 J

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

    PE = mgh

    where

    m is the mass

    h is the height

    g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

    We have

    PE = 500 × 9.8 × 4

    We have the final answer as

    19,600 J

    Hope this helps you
