What is the mass of a hiker 200 m above the ground if her gpe is 117,600 j?

Hello!

PE=mgh so if we have a hiker or any object at 200m above ground level and the PE is 117,600J then to find mass we just rearrange the equation for mass, then plug our values in and there we go!

So we get:

PE=mgh

117,600J = m*(9.80m/s^2)*(200m) then solving for m we get

m = 117,600J/(9.80m/s^2)(200m) = 60.0kg

Hope this helps you understand the concept and how to solve!!

Any questions please ask :)

You can find results and justify them? you can test your hypothesis

If its history of, then b) because a) implies only present day (now)
