Question

What is the gravitational potential energy of an 85 kg mountain climber at the summit of a 6267 m volcano? (g = 9.8) ( PE= mgh) *

A. 5,220,411 J
B. 73.7 J
C. 532,695 J
D. 54,356.6 J

Answer 1

A = 5,220,411 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of climber = 85 Kg

Height = 6267 m

g = 9.8m/s²

Gravitational potential energy = ?

Solution;

Formula:

P.E = mgh

P.E = 85 kg ×9.8m/s²× 6267 m

P.E = 5,220,411 Kg.m²/s²

P.E = 5,220,411 J
