Given data
*The given mass of the ball is m = 14.0 kg
*The given height is h = 255 m
*The value of the acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s^2
The formula for the potential energy of the ball is given as
[tex]U_p=mgh[/tex]Substitute the known values in the above expression as
[tex]\begin{gathered} U_p=(14.0)(9.8)(255) \\ =34986\text{ J} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the potential energy of the ball is 34986 J
