Question 9
F

A climber of mass 60 kg gains 9000 J of gravitational potential energy while climbing a wall.

Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg.

Use the equation: gravitational potential energy=mass×gravitational field strength×height\text{gravitational potential energy} = \text{mass} \times \text{gravitational field strength} \times \text{height}gravitational potential energy=mass×gravitational field strength×height

How high does the climber climb?
