hi billy bob joe , PE= mass*acceleration of gravity*height
so for example
PE = (50kg)*(9.8m/s^2)*(8)
50*9.8= 490
490*8=3920
PE = 3920j
Determine the Initial potential energy of the skater.
The mass of the skater is 50 kg
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
Use the grid to determine the height of the top of the track
PE = mgh;
where m is mass, g is acceleration of gravity and h is height of track
2. Calculate the potential energy (PE) of the skater at the top of the hill. Show your calculations below and record the units as J (joules) in the table below.
