We can use the law of conservation of energy to solve the problem.
The total mechanical energy of the system at any moment of the motion is:

where U is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.
At the beginning of the motion, the ball starts from the ground so its altitude is h=0 and therefore its potential energy U is zero. So, the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:

When the ball reaches the maximum altitude of its flight, it starts to go down again, so its speed at that moment is zero: v=0. So, its kinetic energy at the top is zero. So the total mechanical energy is just potential energy:

But the mechanical energy must be conserved, Ef=Ei, so we have

and so, the potential energy at the top of the flight is
Answer:
the electroscope separate by the presence of charge carriers
Explanation:
Metal bodies are characterized by having free (mobile) electrons. In the electroscope the plates are in balance; when the external metal ball is touched, a charge is introduced into the device, when the body that touched the ball is separated, an excess charge remains. This charge, being a metal, is distributed over the entire surface, giving a uniform density and an electric force of repulsion is created between the two charged sheets, which tends to separate the sheets. This force is counteracted by the tension component as the sheets are separated at a given angle, the separation reaches the point where
Fe - Tx = 0
Fe = Tx
In summary, the electroscope separate its leaves by the presence of charge carriers
