How many joules of gravitational potential energy does a person have after they went up stairs that are 10 meters tall? Assume the person has a mass of 60 kilograms. And assume this takes place on earth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

P = 5880 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a person, m = 60 kg

The height of the stairs, h = 10 m

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the person. The formula is as follows :

[tex]P=mgh[/tex]

Substitute all the values,

[tex]P=60\times 9.8\times 10\\\\P=5880\ J[/tex]

So, the required gravitational potential energy is equal to 5880 J.
