The gravitational potential energy of a basketball  : PE = 18.375 J
Given
height = h = 3 m
mass = 0.625 kg
Required
The potential energy
Solution
The energy produced from its position is called potential energy (PE) Â
which can be formulated as: Â
PE = m. g. h (g = 9.8 m/s²)
Input the value :
PE = 0.625 x 9.8 x 3
PE = 18.375 J
