Answer:
68.6 J
Explanation:
Applying,
P.E = mgh............... Equation 1
Where P.E = Potential Energy of the basket, m = mass of the basket, g = acceleration due to gravity of the basket, h = height of the basket
From the question,
Given: m = 3.5 kg, h = 2.00 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
P.E = 3.5×2×9.8
P.E = 68.6 J
Hence the potential energy of the basket is 68.6 J
