A table of mass 10 kg is lifted so that gravitational potential energy of the table increases by 1470 j. How high is the table lifted? Acceleration due to gravity g= 9.8 m/s2

Formula: work = mgh
m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height
Plug in the values
1470 J = 10 kg* 9.8m/s2 * h
1470 J = 98h
h = 15 meters
Solution: lifted 15 meters
