Stay at rest unless moved my force! :)
Answer:
No, because as distance increases, gravitional force decreases.
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object on motion. it is expressed as follows:
KE = 0.5mv^2
where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:
KE = 0.5mv^2
1.1x10^9 J = 0.5(8.0x10^4 kg) v^2
v = 165.83 m/s
Mechanical energy E = mgh + 1/2mv²
When he starts, let h = 0 ⇒ E₁ = 1/2mv₁²
When he reaches height h ⇒ E₂ = mgh + 1/2mv₂²
Without friction, energy is conserved at all times.
E₁ = E₂
↓
1/2mv₁² = mgh + 1/2mv₂²
↓
1/2v₁² = gh + 1/2v₂²
↓
gh = 1/2(v₁² - v₂²)
↓
h = (v₁² - v₂²) / (2g)
