You can calculate potential energy by:
U = m.g.h

Where, U = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

Hope this helps!

An 80.0 kg skier slides down a hill shaped as shown. Assume

umka21 [38]

The height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The height above the ground from where the skier start is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below;

P.E = K.E

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

$h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \\\\h = \frac{15^2}{2 \times 9.8} \\\\h = 11.5 \ m$

Thus, the height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104 km/s .What is this speed in miles per hour ?

sweet [91]

Answer:

232.641374 mph

Explanation:

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104km/s

Let X represent the speed in miles per hour

Therefore the speed in miles per hour can be calculated as follows

1 km/s = 2,236.936292 mph

0.104km/s = X

X = 0.104 × 2,236.936292

X = 232.641374

Hence the speed in miles per hour is 232.641374 mph
