Question

2. Calculate potential energy of a person having 60 kg mass on the summit of Mt.
Everest. Height of Mt. Everest is 8848 m from sea level. (g = 9.8 m/s2) (1)
a. 52,02,624 joule
b. 25 joule
C. 19.7 joule
d. 2,02,624 Joule


​

Answer 1

5202624 J.

Explanation:

Mass,m = 60 kg

Acceleration due to gravity,g = 9.8 m/s2

Height,h = 8848 m

P.E. = mgh

P.E. = 60 x 9.8 x 8848

P.E. = 5202624 J.
