Question
The gravitational potential energy of a person on a $3.0-\mathrm{m}-\mathrm{high}$ diving board is $1800 \mathrm{~J}$. What is the person's mass?
Step 1
We know the formula for gravitational potential energy is U = m * g * h, where U is the potential energy, m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²), and h is the height. Show more…
