answer

Answer 1

147 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be potential energy because it is stored. Potential energy = gravity * mass * height. Gravity is 9.8 m/s² or more specific 9.807 m/s². Potential energy is written in Joules.

9.8 * 5 * 3 = 147 Joules

More specific:

9.807 * 5 * 3 = 147.105 Joules
