A cliff diver jumps off a cliff 45.1 meters above the water. If he must land 17.8 meters from the edge of the cliff to be safe, how fast must he be running before jumping off the cliff? Question 2 options:
9.2 m/s
3.0 m/s
5.9 m/s
2.4 m/s

the body's situation won't change the forces are equal opposit and on the same body

pe = weightxheight = 2000x1000=2,000,000joules

powerful computers now, not then

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
