Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Height of tree, h = 4 m

Mass of Ninja, m = 30 kg

The gravitational potential energy on the top branch of the tree is given by :


P=mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity


P=30\ kg* 9.8\ m/s^2* 4\ m\\\\P=1176\ J

(ii) If he were at a height of 2 meters from the ground, its potential energy will be :


P=mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity


P=30\ kg* 9.8\ m/s^2* 2\ m\\\\P=588\ J

Therefore, this is the required explanation.
