Answer:

3430000 J

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.

M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.

First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).

From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).
