Answer: 1339.5 joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, GPE is the energy possessed by the jumper as he moves against gravity.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

Since Mass = 67kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

h = 2.04 metres

Thus, GPE = 67kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 2.04m

GPE = 1339.5 joules

Thus, the gravitational potential energy at the highest point is 1339.5 joules
