1 Figure 1 shows a person on a skateboard at the top of a ramp.
At P, the person is not moving.


P


Q h


Figure 1

(a) The person rides the skateboard down the ramp from P to Q.

The gravitational potential energy of the person decreases by 980 J.
The mass of the person is 35 kg.

Calculate h, the height of the ramp.
Use g = 10 N/kg.
Use the equation
change in gravitational potential energy = m  g  h
(2)




h = .........................m

, (b) The kinetic energy, KE, of the person at Q is 950 J.

The mass of the person is 35 kg.
