A person weighing 645 N climbs up a ladder to a height of 4.55 m what is the increase in gravitational energy

2934.75 Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per second square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Given the following data;

Weight =645

Height = 4.55

P.E = mgh

But we know that weight = mg = 645N

Substituting into the equation, we have;

P.E = 645 • 4.55

P.E = 2934.75J

Potential energy, P.E = 2934.75 Joules.
