Answer:

14.55 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the hill can be found by using the formula


h = (PE)/(mg) \\

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have


h = (4800)/(33 * 10) = (4800)/(330) \\ = 14.545454...

We have the final answer as

14.55 m

Hope this helps you
