    The answer to your question is Ep = 73.6 Joules

    Explanation:

    Data

    mass = 2.5 kg

    height = 3 m

    gravity = 9,81 m/s²

    Potential energy = ?

    Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position, the highest the object be, the highest the potential energy.

    Formula

    Pe = mgh

    Substitution

    Ep = (2.5) (9.81) (3)

    Simplification and result

    Ep = 73.6 Joules
