When mass is at height 5 m 
Its potential energy = mgh 
 
g = 9.8 m/s2 
Thus, P.E.  = 2 x 9.8 x 5 = 98 J 
Wehn object is at maximum height P.E. = maximum and K.E. = 0 
When ball is allowed to fall down and reaches the midpoint of the height
h = 2.5 m
Thus, 
P.E = 2 x 9.8 x 2.5 = 49 J 
We know, 
Total energy = Potential energy + Kinetic energy .... (by law of conservation of energy)
In this case, 
T.E. = 98 J 
as at half of the journey in this case - K.E. = 49 J and P.E. = 49 J
