You do: What is the Gravitational Potential Energy of a
120kg person who jumped out of a plane 4500m in the
air?
G
U
s
M
KE = 12my
GPE = mgh

Answer 1

P = 5292 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a person, m = 120 kg

The height of the plane, h = 4500 m

The Gravitational Potential Energy of the person is given by :

P = mgh

Put all the values,

P = 120 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 4500 m

= 5292000 J

or

= 5292 kJ

So, the required gravitational potential energy is 5292 kJ.
