Answer to Problem 4.12APP

Gravitational potential energy is 2352 J_ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Mass = 80 kg

Height = 3.0 m

Formula used:

Gravitational potential energy is given by,

  GPE=mgh

Where m is mass, g ( 9.8 N/kg ) is gravity and h is height.

Calculation:

Gravitational potential energy is calculated as:

     GPE=mgh =(80 kg)(9.8 N/kg)(3.0 m) =2352 J

Conclusion:

Gravitational potential energy is 2352 J_ .
