Question

A backpacker is hiking along a cliffside. The hiker and his backpack have a mass of 88 kg and are 27 m above the ground. Use g = 9.8 m/s 2 Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the hiker and his backpack. Round your answer to the nearest thousand.​

Answer 1

23000 j (can also be written as 23 Kj)

Step-by-step explanation:

gpe = mass x g x height

88 x 9.8 x 27 = 23248.8

Rounded = 23000
