A skateboarder has a mass of 55 kg.
The skateboarder rides from the bottom of a ramp to the top. The top of the ramp is 12 m higher than the bottom.
Calculate the gain in gravitational potential energy, ΔEp\Delta E_pΔEp, of the skateboarder.
Use g=10 N/kgg = 10\text{ N/kg}g=10 N/kg.
Use the equation:
ΔEp=m×g×Δh \Delta E_p = m \times g \times \Delta h ΔEp=m×g×Δh
