Explanation:
We will calculate the gravitational potential energy as follows.
=
= 1164000 J
or, = 1164 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)
Now, we will calculate the change in potential energy as follows.
=
=
= -873000 J
or, = -873 kJ
Thus, we can conclude that change in gravitational potential energy is -873 kJ.
