Answer:

U₁ = 129.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy is

    U = mg y - m g y₀

Where I correspond to the initial position, with this it is an additive constant, we can make it zero with the placement of the reference system, in this case the system is placed on the floor where the ladder rests.

The power power for people on the floor is

     U₀ = 0 J

The potential energy for the person on the first step is

   U₁ = m g y₁

In general the steps are 20 cm high

     y₁ = 20 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.20 m

     U₁ = 66 9.8 0.20

     U₁ = 129.4 J

Why were early solar panels not popular
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

1:  They had toxic metals and they were massive. They took up way too much space for some people's money and they weren't exactly the best and most efficient so some people didn't like them.

3: Solar panels would work very well in space because they don't have clouds and dust to block out sunlight like there is on Earth. In space, there wouldn't be a source such as wind or coal or anything, so it would be more efficient to use solar panels since there is a more direct sunlight path.
