Answer:
1500J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the block = 30kg
Height = 5m
Unknown:
Gravitational potential energy = ?
Solution:
The Gravitational potential energy of body is due to its position above the ground level.
Gravitational potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height
So;
Gravitational potential energy = 30 x 9.8 x 5 = 1470J or 1500J
