Answer:
7350 J
Explanation:
Gravitational Potential Energy: This is defined as the energy possessed by a body due to it's position in the gravitational field. The S.I unit is Joules(J).
Applying,
E.p = mgh..................... Equation 1
Where E.p = Gravitational potential Energy, m = mass of the object, h = height of the object above the surface of the earth, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: m = 2.5 kg, h = 300 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
E.p = 2.5(300)(9.8)
E.p = 7350 J.
