    Answer: 450J

    Explanation:

    Mass of ball = 1.0kg

    kinetic energy = ?

    velocity of the ball = 30m/s

    Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. It is measured in joules, and depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves

    i. e K. E = 1/2mv²

    KE = 1/2 x 1.0kg x (30m/s) ^2

    KE = 0.5 x 1.0 x 900

    KE = 450J

    (Recall that kinetic energy is equal to potential energy at the top of its ascent)

    So, if KE = 450J; PE = 450J

    Thus, the potential energy of the ball is 450 joules.
