Explanation / Answer

a) PEi = 54 * 9.8 * 9 = 4762.8 J

      PEf = 0 J

delta PE = 0 - 4762.8   = - 4762.8 J

b)   PEi = 0 J

      PEf = 54 * 9.8 * 9 = - 4762.8 J

delta PE =    - 4762.8 J

c)    PEi = 54 * 9.8 * 7 = 3704.4 J

      PEf = - 54 * 9.8 * 2 = - 1058.4 J

delta PE =    - 1058.4 - 3704.4 = - 4762.8 J
