9702Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy

A ball falls towards the ground from point X. Point X is 2.4 m above the ground. The ball rebounds from the ground and rises to point Y. Point Y is 1.8 m above the ground. A single value of the change in height Δh is used to calculate the change in gravitational potential energy of the ball from X to Y. What is the magnitude of Δh?

  1. A0.6 m
