If 418.5J of heat energy could be converted to gravitational potential energy, HOW MANY TIMES could a 3.20kg object be raised to 446 meters?.. gravitational energy (g) = 9.8m/s^2

"Joule" is "the work done by a 1 Newton force in moving an object 1 meter". a Newton is defined as "the force necessary to accelerate a 1 kg object at 1 meter per second per second", it has basic units of kg m/s2
J = N * M
N = kg m/s2
418.5J = x(446) * 3.2 * 9.8
x = 418.5 /(446*3.2*9.8)
x = 0.03
doesn't sound right
