Answer:
The gravitational potential energy of the skydiver=[tex]79200 k g m^{2} / s^{2}[/tex]
Given:
Mass of the skydiver=80kg
Distance of the skydiver from the earth=100m
To find:
Gravitational potential energy of the skydiver
Step by Step Explanation:
Solution:
According to the formula, Gravitational Potential Energy (GHE) is calculated as
[tex]\text {Gravitational Potential Energy(GHE)}=m g h[/tex]
Where m= Mass of the skydiver
g=Acceleration due to gravity
h=Distance of the skydiver from the earth
Substitute the known values in the above equation we get
[tex]G H E=80 \times 9.8 \times 100[/tex]
[tex]=79200 \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}^{2}[/tex]
Result:
Thus the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver is =[tex]79200 k g m^{2} / s^{2}[/tex]
