The correct Answer is:
To find the total mechanical energy of the man, we need to calculate both his kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) at the given height and speed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Mass of the man, \( m = 60 \, \text{kg} \) - Velocity of the man, \( v = 30 \, \text{m/s} \) - Height above the ground, \( h = 50 \, \text{m} \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (assuming standard value) 2. **Calculate Kinetic Energy (KE):** The formula for kinetic energy is: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] Substituting the known values: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 60 \, \text{kg} \times (30 \, \text{m/s})^2 \] \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 60 \times 900 \] \[ KE = 30 \times 900 = 27000 \, \text{J} = 27 \, \text{kJ} \] 3. **Calculate Potential Energy (PE):** The formula for potential energy is: \[ PE = mgh \] Substituting the known values: \[ PE = 60 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \times 50 \, \text{m} \] \[ PE = 60 \times 10 \times 50 \] \[ PE = 30000 \, \text{J} = 30 \, \text{kJ} \] 4. **Calculate Total Mechanical Energy (TME):** The total mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy: \[ TME = KE + PE \] \[ TME = 27 \, \text{kJ} + 30 \, \text{kJ} \] \[ TME = 57 \, \text{kJ} \] ### Final Answer: The total mechanical energy of the man is \( 57 \, \text{kJ} \). ---
