Answer:

1225 J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

[tex]PE=mgh[/tex]

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

[tex]PE=(250 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m)=1225 J[/tex]
