Answer:

(2)×(9.8)×(0.76)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of bottle = 2 kg

Given height = 0.76 m

Gravitational potential energy of bottle = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Gravitational potential energy = mgh

g = 9.8 m/s²

Now we will put the values in formula.

Gravitational potential energy = 2kg×9.8 m/s²×0.76 m

Gravitational potential energy = 14.896 kg.m².s⁻²

j = kg.m².s⁻²

Gravitational potential energy = 14.896 j
