Energy 1. A man climbs on to a wall that is 5 m high and gains 2200 J of potential energy. What is the mass of the man? Given: Formula: h = 5 m m = PE/gh PE = 2200 J Solution: m = 2200 J / (9.8 m/s2 x 5 m) m = 49 kg 2. Calculate the kinetic energy of a 500 kg car travelling at 50 m/s. Given: Formula: m = 500 kg KE = mv2/2 v = 50 m/s Solution: KE = 500 kg x (50 m/s)2 / 2 KE = 625 000 J Power 3. Riley climbs a flight of stairs in 3 minutes. If he
