Question

If a 60 kg student is standing on the edge of a cliff. Find the students gravitational potential of the cliff is 30 m high

Answer 1

17640J

Step-by-step explanation:

Give mass m= 60kg

Height h =30m

Since the student is standing on the edge of a cliff , acceleration due to gravity g is 9.8m/s^2

The student’s gravitational potential energy can be found by the formula

mgh

That’s 60 x 9.8 x 30

= 17640J
