Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf P.E. = 39.2\ Joules}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Mass = m = 4 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = 1 m

Required:

Potential Energy = P.E. = ?

Formula:

P.E. = mgh

Solution:

P.E. = (4)(9.8)(1)

P.E. = 39.2 Joules


\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
