Ella has a mass of 56 kg, and Tyrone has a mass of 68 kg. Ella is standing at the top of a skateboard ramp that is 1.5 meters tall. Which conclusion is best supported by the given information?
If Tyrone stands at the top of the same ramp, his potential energy will be less than Ella’s.
If Tyrone stands at the top of a 1 m high ramp, his potential energy will be greater than Ella’s.
If Tyrone stands at the top of the same ramp, his potential energy will be the same as Ella’s.
If Tyrone stands at the top of a 2 m high ramp, his potential energy will be greater than Ella’s.
Answers
Answer:If Tyrone stands at the top of a 2 m high ramp, his potential energy will be greater than Ella’s.
Explanation: Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to it's position.
Potential energy =
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity =
h = height
a) If Tyrone stands at the top of the same ramp, his potential energy will be less than Ella’s.
Potential energy of Ella=
Potential energy of Tynore=
Thus if both Ella and Tyrone are standing at the top of the same ramp of height 1.5 m, potential energy possessed by Tyrone will be greater than Ella's.
b) If Tyrone stands at the top of a 1 m high ramp, his potential energy will be greater than Ella’s.
Potential energy of Ella=
Potential energy of Tynore=
Thus potential energy possessed by Tyrone will be less than Ella's.
c) If Tyrone stands at the top of the same ramp, his potential energy will be the same as Ella’s.
Potential energy of Ella=
Potential energy of Tynore=
Thus potential energy possessed by Tyrone will be more than Ella's.
d) If Tyrone stands at the top of a 2 m high ramp, his potential energy will be greater than Ella’s.
Potential energy of Ella=
Potential energy of Tynore=
Thus potential energy possessed by Tyrone will be more than Ella's
