Answer:

441J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of book  = 5kg

Height  = 9m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.

 It is given as:

   Gravitational potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Gravitational potential energy  = 5 x 9.8 x 9  = 441J
