You can calculate potential energy by:
U = m.g.h
Where, U = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

Answer:
Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another
Kinetic Energy + Energy due to air resistance = Potential energy..........(1)
If there is no energy loss due to air resistance, potential energy = kinetic energy
mass, m = 1.5 kg
height, h = 4.0 m
speed, v = 6 m/s
Kinetic energy = 0.5 mv²
Kinetic energy = 0.5 * 1.5 * 6²
Kinetic energy = 27 Joules
Potential Energy = mgh
Potential energy = 1.5 * 9.8 * 4
Potential energy = 58.8 Joules
From equation (1)
27 + Energy due to air resistance = 58.8
Energy due to air resistance = 58.8 - 27
Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules
