Question

A skydiver has a mass of 57 kg and 1.45 x 10^6 J of gravitational potential energy while sitting in a plane and preparing to jump. How high off the ground is she?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer it's approximately 2520 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula used it's the gradational potential energy.

PE = mgh

PE = 1.45x10^6 J

m = 57 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h = ?

h = PE / m*g

h = 1.45x10^6 J / 57 kg * 9.8 m/s^2

h = 2520 m
