Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\text{0.736 J}}[/tex]
Explanation:
The formula for gravitational energy is
PE = mgh
Data:
m = 0.0300 kg
g = 9.807 m·s⁻²
h = 2.50 m
Calculation:
PE = 0.0300 kg × 9.807 m·s⁻² × 2.50 m = 0.736 kg·m²s⁻² = 0.736 J
The potential energy of the acorn is [tex]\boxed{\textbf{0.736 J}}[/tex]
