Answer:

80,000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 250 × 10 × 32

We have the final answer as

80,000 J

Hope this helps you
