Answer:
11760J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Height of hill = 30m
Weight = 40kg
Unknown:
Gravitational potential energy = ?
Solution:
To find the gravitational potential energy, it is the energy due to the position of a body;
G.PE = mgh
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height
Now insert the parameters and solve;
G.PE = 40 x 9.8 x 30 = 11760J
