Assume you have a person with a mass of 65 kg riding a skateboard down a ramp. While they are still 4.8 m high, they are traveling at a speed of 8.0 m/s.
a) Calculate the Eg. [write here]
b) Calculate theEk [write here]
c) Calculate the Etotal. [write here)

a) Eg = 3,060.72 j

b) Ek = 2,080 j

c) Etotal = 5,140.72 j

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the person, m = 65 kg

The height of the person, h = 4.8 m

The speed of the person, v = 8.0 m/s

a) The gravitational potential energy, = m·g·h

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

∴ Eg = 65 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 4.8 m = 3,060.72 j

Eg = 3,060.72 j

b) The kinetic energy, Ek = 1/2·m·v²

∴ Ek = 1/2 × 65 kg × (8.0 m/s)² = 2,080 j

Ek = 2,080 j

c) The constant total Mechanical Energy, Etotal = Eg + Ek

∴ Etotal = 3,060.72 j + 2,080 j = 5,140.72 j

Etotal = 5,140.72 j.

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
