A ball toy of mass 22.9 g is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 4.3 m/s. Neglect air resistance. If the gravitational potential energy is taken to be zero at the maximum height the toy reaches, what would the gravitational potential energy be in J when it leaves the hand? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
