a 55 kg person jumps from a diving board. at 0 s, the person is 5.0 m above the water. what is the potential energy of the person? e_p = ? j e_p = mgh for gravitational acceleration, use g = 10 m/s². 1375 j 2000 j 2750 j
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify values
$m = 55\ kg$, $g=10\ m/s^{2}$, $h = 5.0\ m$
## Step2: Apply potential - energy formula
$E_p=mgh=55\times10\times5$
$E_p = 2750\ J$
# Answer:
2750 J
