Given:

Mass of object = 2 kg

At point E, the gravitational potential energy is 0.

Let's find the maximum height the object will reach above point E.


PE=mgh

Where:

m is the mass

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height.

The maximum height the object will reach above point E will be the height at Point C if the restriction is to the given points.

Point C is 20 m above the ground.

Therefore, the maximum height that it reaches above point E is 20 m.

ANSWER:

20 m.
