Gravitational energy (in joules)
= mgh
where
m=mass (k)
g=acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
h=height (m)
Solve for h.
In 1993, Cuban athlete Javier Sotomayor set the world record for the high jump. the gravitational potential energy associated with Sotomayor's jump was 1970 J. Sotomayor's mass was 82.0 kg. How high did Sotomayor Jump?

We use the formula
PE = mgh
where
PE = potential energy (J)
m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
h = height (m)
Substituting,
1970 = 82(9.8)(h)
h = 2.45 m

your answer was wrong for me in a quiz so you obviously don't know what you are talking about
