Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is given by the equation:
where:
#E# is the gravitational potential energy in joules
#m# is the mass of the object in kilograms
#g# is the gravitational acceleration, which is around#9.8 \ "m/s"^2# on Earth
#h# is the height of the object in meters
So, we get:
