Question

Taylor climbed a tree and is sitting on one of the branches deciding if she wants to jump. She weighs 45 kilogram and is sitting 10 meters from the ground. What is her potential energy?

Answer 1

Her potential energy is approximately 4481 J.

Explanation:

Because the formula for potential energy is PEg = 9.81 * mass * height, just plug in the knowns. After you plug those in, you will get the potential energy as 9.81 * 450, which is approximately 4481 J.
