Potential Energy
 

Potential Energy problem 12


A high-rise has a ground floor and 14 floors. Each floor has a height of 2.8 m. To which level does a man with a mass of 86 kg have to climb in order to have approximately the same potential energy as a car with a mass of 1200 kg in a parking house at a height of 2.6 m? In this task, the height of the car is measured from the ground of the ground floor of the tower.
