Question

Ella has a mass of 56 kg, and Tyrone has a mass of 68 kg. Ella is standing at the top of a skateboard ramp that is

1.5 meters tall. Which conclusion is best supported by the given information?
If Tyrone stands at the top of the same ramp, his potential energy will be less than Ella's
If Tyrone stands at the top of a 1 m high ramp, his potential energy will be greater than Ella's.
If Tyrone stands at the top of the same ramp, his potential energy will be the same as Ella's.
If Tyrone stands at the top of a 2 m high ramp, his potential energy will be greater than Ella's.
Hey

Answer 1

it would be d.

Explanation:

got it right on the test

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Ella is 56 kg and mass of Tyrone is 68 kg.

Position of Ella is 1.5 m on the ramp.

Potential energy of an object is given by :

P = mgh

It is directly proportional to the position of an object.

If Tyrone stands at the top of ramp at more height than Ella, it will have more potential energy. Hence, the correct option is (d) "If Tyrone stands at the top of a 2 m high ramp, his potential energy will be greater than Ella's."
