The maximum height a typical person can jump is about 60cm (0.6m). By how much does the gravitational potential energy increase

for a 72kg person in such a jump? Where does this energy come from? (What do I have to find here?)

The gravitational potential energy will increase by 423.36 J

<h3>How to determine the potential energy at ground level</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 72 kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Height (h) = 0 m
  • Potential energy at ground level (PE₁) =?

PE = mgh

PE₁ = 72 × 9.8 × 0

PE₁ = 0 J

<h3>How to determine the potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m)</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 72 kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Height (h) = 0.6 m
  • Potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m) (PE₂) =?

PE = mgh

PE₂ = 72 × 9.8 × 0.6

PE₂= 423.36 J

<h3>How to determine the change in potential energy </h3>
  • Potential energy at ground level (PE₁) = 0 J
  • Potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m) (PE₂) = 423.36 J
  • Change in potential energy =?

Change in potential energy = PE₂ - PE₁

Change in potential energy = 423.36 - 0

Change in potential energy = 423.36 J

a team of dogs is pulling a sled with a net force of 2000 N. The sled is accelerating a 2.2 m/s^2. What is the mass of the sled?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Force, F = ma

Where m = mass in kg, a = acceleration in m/s²,  Force, F is in N.

F = ma

2000 = m*2.2

2.2m = 2000

m = 2000/2.2

m ≈ 909.09

Mass is ≈ 909.09 kg.

Which of the following does not contribute to Wellness
Tomtit [17]
<span>The option that does not contribute to wellness are tendencies. Tendencies are just things that you are more likely to do, or behavior that you are more likely to show, and in no way does that affect your wellness. However, your habits, exercise, and diet do, because all of these things have an impact on both your body and mind, thus creating a wellness of the entire human being.</span>
