Answer:

the cat with a mass of 6 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential Energy : Weight x Height

PE of cat w/ mass 4 kg :

  • PE = 4 x 10 x 30
  • PE = 40 x 30
  • PE = 1200 J

PE of cat w/ mass 6 kg :

  • PE = 6 x 10 x 30
  • PE = 60 x 30
  • PE = 1800 J

Clearly, the cat with a mass of 6 kg has greater potential energy.
