Question

A man with a weight of 100 N is located
25 meters above a street. How much
potential energy does the man have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

  mass of man = 100 N = 10 kg

   height = h = 25m

   since the man does not move anything with his force, work done by him is zero

   work done on the man = gain in potential energy

   P.E=mgh

   P.E=10×9.8×25

  P.E=2.45KJ

Explanation:

so, potential energy gained by man is 2.45 KJ
