Answer

The projectile would have gone $~~738~m~~$ higher.

Work Step by Step

We can find the height difference associated with a gravitational potential energy of $68.0~kJ$: $mg~\Delta h = 68.0~kJ$ $\Delta h = \frac{68.0~kJ}{mg}$ $\Delta h = \frac{68.0~kJ}{(9.40~kg)(9.80~m/s^2)}$ $\Delta h = 738~m$ The projectile would have gone $~~738~m~~$ higher.
