Question
What is the potential energy of a skateboarder if his mass is 60 kilograms and he is at a height of 5 meters? Take g = 9.8 m/s².
Answers
GPT 3.5
The potential energy (PE) of the skateboarder can be calculated using the formula:
PE = m * g * h
where m is the mass (60 kilograms), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²), and h is the height (5 meters).
Plugging in the values:
PE = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 5 m
PE = 2940 joules
PE = m * g * h
where m is the mass (60 kilograms), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²), and h is the height (5 meters).
Plugging in the values:
PE = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 5 m
PE = 2940 joules
