    m = mass of the cat being lifted = 5 kg

    h = height to which the cat is raised into air = 2 m

    g = acceleration due to gravity of earth = 9.8 m/s²

    U = gravitational potential energy gained by the cat

    Gravitational potential energy gained by the cat is given as

    U = m g h

    inserting the values in the above equation

    U = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (2 m)

    U = (5 x 9.8 x 2) (kg m²/s²)

    U = 98 J
