Answer:
[tex]E=7.28\times 10^6\ J[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a person, m = 84 kg
The person is standing at a top of Mt. Everest at an altitude of 8848 m
We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the person. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to the position of an object. It is given by :
E = mgh, g is the acceleration due to gravity
[tex]E=84\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 8848\ m\\\\E=7283673.6\ J\\\\E=7.28\times 10^6\ J[/tex]
So, the gravitational potential energy of the person is [tex]7.28\times 10^6\ J[/tex]
