What is the gravitational potential energy of a 55-kg person that has climber a 4,000 meter tall mountain?

Bonus: if one snickers bar is 1,100,000 joules of energy, how many snickers bars would provide enough fuel to climb the mountain ?

Answer:

2156000 J.

Bonus: 2 snickers bar

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying

P.E = mgh................. Equation 1

Where P.E = Gravitational potential energy, m = mass of the person, h = height of the mountain, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: m = 55 kg, h = 4000 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

P.E = (55×4000×9.8)

P.E = 2156000 J.

If one snikers bar is 1100000 J of energy,

Then, (2156000/1100000) snickers bar would be enough to climb the mountain

Number of snickers bar =  (2156000/1100000)  = 1.96 ≈ 2
