An 80.0 kg hiker walks a distance of 400.0 m along a road that slopes 5.0 degrees upward, and then stops. What is the hiker's final gravitational potential energy relative to her original position? 784 J 3.9 × 10^3 J 2.7 × 10^4 J-I got this answer but I am not sure if I am right 3.1 × 10^5 J

OpenStudy (anonymous):

formula for gravity is m(mass)g(gravity)h(height)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the formula for gravitational potential energy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I need to find the height

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

\[\Delta u=mg(hf-hi)\]

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

h=400 sin 5

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

so 2.7*10^4 nm

okay, so i got the answer right, thanks
