Answer:
G.P.E = 414050 Joules or 414.05 Kilojoules
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 65 kg
Height = 650 m
We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²
To find the gravitational potential energy;
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;
[tex] G.P.E = mgh[/tex]
Where;
- G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
- m represents the mass of an object.
- g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
- h represents the height measured in meters.
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] G.P.E = 65 * 9.8 * 650 [/tex]
[tex] G.P.E = 414050 [/tex]
G.P.E = 414050 Joules or 414.05 Kilojoules.
