Answer:

In this example, a 3 kilogram mass, at a height of 5 meters, while acted on by Earth's gravity would have 147.15 Joules of potential energy, PE = 3kg * 9.81 m/s 2 * 5m = 147.15 J. 9.81 meters per second squared (or more accurately 9.80665 m/s 2 ) is widely accepted among scientists as a working average value for Earth's gravitational pull.
