Answer:

2.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object as a result of its position relative to other objects

The change in potential energy is given by:

ΔPE = mgh;

where ΔPE is the change in potential energy, m is the mass if the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the change in height of the object.

Hence given that g = 10 m/s², ΔPE = 150 J, m = 6 kg, hence:

ΔPE = mgh

150 = 6 * 10 * h

150 = 60h

h = 2.5 m

Hence the change in height is 2.5 m
