Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the block is at rest in an elevated position, we can assume that it only has potential energy.

U=mgh is the formula for potential energy where U=potential energy, m= mass, g=acceleration due to gravity, and h=height.

Plug in known variables....

U=4kg*9.8m/s^2*20m

U=784 joules of potential energy or letter A.
