a) for the work done
work done on the snowball = mgh
work done on the snowball = 1.5 * 9.8 * 13
work done on the snowball = 191.1 J
b) for the change in gravitational potential energy system
change in gravitational potential energy system = - work done by gravity
change in gravitational potential energy system = - 191.1 J
c)
at the ground
gravitational potential energy of the ball= change in gravitational potential energy
gravitational potential energy of the ball = - 191.1 J
