A 7.00 kg bowling ball is held 2.00 m above the ground. Using g = 9.80 m/s2, how much energy does the bowling ball have due to its position?

Gravitational potential energy is calculated with PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is height. Substituting the values gives PE = (7.00 kg)(9.80 m/s²)(2.00 m) = 137.2 J, which rounds to 137 J. The correct choice is 137 J.
