6 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy can be calculated using the formula:

PE = mgh

where m is mass of object in kg

g is the gravitational acceleration of 10 m/s^2

h is the height at which object is thrown in m.

Hence, by substituting in the values, we get:

GPE = (4.0) (10) (0.15)

6 J

Hence, the potential energy is 6 J.
