Answer:

E = 15680 J

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Mass of Danielle is 80 kg

He is at the top of hill at a height of 20 m

As she slides down at the bottom of the hill, its potential energy gets converted to its kinetic energy. So, the kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill is :


E=mgh\\\\E=80* 9.8* 20\\\\E=15680\ J

So, she will have 15680 J of kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill.
