Answer :
To find the potential energy, we use the formula
[tex]$$
PE = m \, g \, h,
$$[/tex]
where
[tex]\( m = 25 \)[/tex] kg is the mass,
[tex]\( g = 9.8 \)[/tex] m/s[tex]\(^2\)[/tex] is the acceleration due to gravity, and
[tex]\( h = 3 \)[/tex] m is the height.
Substitute the values into the formula:
[tex]$$
PE = 25 \times 9.8 \times 3.
$$[/tex]
Multiplying these together:
[tex]$$
PE = 735 \text{ joules}.
$$[/tex]
Thus, the potential energy of the bicycle is [tex]\(735\)[/tex] J.
