    The potential energy of an object is

    (mass) x (gravity) x (height above something).

    When the object rises to a greater height, its potential energy is greater.

    If it didn't have rocket engines on it, then that extra energy had to from

    outside, like from work done by whatever lifted it.

    When the 78-kg object is lifted through 6 meters, its potential energy ...

    above the place where it started ... is

    (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

    (78kg) x (9.8m/s²) x (6 m) =

    4,586.4 kg-m²/sec² = 4,586 joules

    That's the amount of work required to lift it to the new height.
