    Answer: 73.5J

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Mass of pizza (m) = 5 kg

    Height of kitchen counter (h) = 1.5m

    Potential energy of pizza (PE) = ?

    Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object at rest. And it depends on the mass (m), height (h), and acceleration due to gravity (g). Use the value of g, which is 9.8 m/s²

    PE = mgh

    PE = 5 kg x 9.8 m/s² x 1.5 m

    PE = 73.5 J

    Thus, the pizza has 73.5 joules of potential energy.
