Answer:
an airplane in mid-flight
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy is defined by
E_{potential} =m*g*hE
potential
=m∗g∗h
where m is the mass of the object;
g is the gravitational acceleration;
an h is the height of the object;
For the examples, the highest value in potential energy will be for the airplane, because it has the more mass and the higher altitude by far in relation to the baseball or the bird.
