Question

Mars has a surface gravity that is only 0.38 (a little over one-third) that of Earth's. Thus, the weight of an object will also be 0.38 times that of Earth. What is the G.P.E. of a climber who weighs 675 newtons on Earth at the top of 26,000-meter Olympus Mons?

Answer 1

Answer:Potential energy on surface of Mars is 6669000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the weight of the climber on the surface of Earth is given as 675 NSo weight of the climber on the Mars is given asNow we know that gravitational Potential energy is given as

Answer 2

Potential energy on surface of Mars is 6669000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the weight of the climber on the surface of Earth is given as 675 N

So weight of the climber on the Mars is given as

`W = 0.38 (675)`

`W = mg = 256.5 N`

Now we know that gravitational Potential energy is given as

`U = mgH`

`U = (256.5)(26000)`

`U = 6669000 J`
