    The answer to your question is Pe = 2943 kJ

    Explanation:

    Data

    mass = 60 kg

    height = 5000 m

    gravity = 9.8 m/s²

    Potential energy is the energy objects have due to their position.

    Formula

    Pe = mgh

    - Substitution

    Pe = (60) (9,81) (5000)

    - Simplification

    Pe = 2943000 Joules or Pe = 2943 kJ
