The potential energy of an object is given by
where:
PE = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = height
PE = mgh
PE = (25 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(1.5 m)
Therefore, the potential energy is 367.5 J.

The potential energy of an object is given by
where:
PE = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = height
Solving for the potential energy
PE = mgh
PE = (25 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(1.5 m)
Therefore, the potential energy is 367.5 J.
