Answer:

7350 J

Explanation:

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

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

We have

GPE = 2.5 × 9.8 × 300

We have the final answer as

7350 J

Hope this helps you
