Solution

The gravitational potential energy (PE) of an object can be calculated using the formula:

PE = mgh

where: m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height the object is lifted.

In this case, the mass (m) of the laptop is 1.4 kg, the acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s² (on Earth), and the height (h) the laptop is lifted is 0.8 m.

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

PE = 1.4 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 0.8 m = 10.92 J

Rounding to one decimal place gives 11.0 J.

So, the answer is A. 11.0 J.
