Answer:

Ep = 0.6095 [J]

Explanation:

As defined in the problem statement, potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height. But first we must convert all the values given to measures of the international system (SI)

g = gravity = 10 [m/s^2]

h = elevation = 40 [ft] = 12.19 [m]

m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]

Ep = potential energy [J]

Ep = 0.005*10*12.19 = 0.6095 [J]
