Answer: 25,000Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a falling object by virtue of its position.

Mathematically, Gravitational potential energy = mass(m) × acceleration due to gravity (g) × height (h)

Given m = 50.0kg g = 10m/s² h= 50.0m

GPE = 50×10×50

GPE = 25,000Joules

Therefore her gravitational potential energy is 25,000Joules
