Hello!!
For calculate the GPE let's applicate the formula:
[tex]\boxed{GPE = m g h}[/tex]
[tex]\textbf{Being:}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{}[/tex] GPE = Gravitational potential energy = ?
[tex]\sqrt{}[/tex] m = Mass = 100 kg
[tex]\sqrt{}[/tex] g = Gravity = 10 m/s²
[tex]\sqrt{}[/tex] h = Height = 40 m
⇒ [tex]\text{Then let's \textbf{replace it according} we information:}[/tex]
[tex]GPE = 100 \ kg * 10 \ m / s ^{2} * 40 \ m[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\text{Let's resolve it: }[/tex]
[tex]GPE = 40000 \ J[/tex]
[tex]\textbf{Result:}\\\text{The gravitational potential energy is \textbf{40 000 Joules}}[/tex]
