Suppose a skydiver 85kg is falling toward the earth when the skydiver is 25m above the earth he is moving at 55m/s at this point calculate the skydivers gravitational potential energy

Gravitational potential Energy = m x g x h

m = mass of the object

g= 9.81 m/s^2

h = height in m

substituting the values in above equation, we get:

Gravitational potential Energy = m x g x h

= 85 Kg X 9.81 m/s^2 X 25 m

= 20846.25 Joules

about 21,000 J
