I have looked over the triangle method for solving the potential energy equation and know how to use it.
I know that Potential Energy is measured in Joules (J).
I know that "g" in the potential energy equation is 9.8 m/s2.
I know that I must round to TWO decimal spaces and label my answer with the correct units.

Show your work for solving the equation... A 0.6 kg basketball is located 48 m above the ground. Find the GPE (in joules) of the basketball.
What is the GPE for this basketball? (This is the value for the unknown that you solved for in #8)

Show your work for solving the equation... Find the GPE (in Joules) of a coffee mug with a mass of 0.3 kg sitting on a countertop. The mug is 1 m above the floor.
What is the GPE for this mug? (This is the value for the unknown that you solved for in #13)
