Answer:
C. 573.3 J
Explanation:
Given,
The mass of the squirrel, m = 4.5 Kg
The height of the branch where the squirrel is sitting, h = 13 m
The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
The gravitational potential energy on mass 'm' is given by the relation
P.E = mgh joules
Substituting the given values in the above equation
P.E = 4.5 Kg x 13 m x 9.8 m/s²
= 573.3 J
Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of squirrel is, P.E = 573.3 J
