PE = w*h = 600*25 = 15000 joules or 1.5 kJ

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 60 kg person standing on the roof of a 10 story building and each story is 3 m high?
Height = 3*10 = 30 metres so GPE = m*g*h = 60*g*30 = 17,658 Newtons approx.
Person X is standing behind person Y but person Y is standing behind person X?
they are back to back
What is gravitational energy used for?
Anything that uses the force of a falling object to do work. For example, water mills, hydroelectric power generators, pile drivers. Even a person jumping (up and) down on earth to flatten it.
How many square feet does a person take up standing?
It depends how big the person is
What is the area that an average person takes up while standing?
It is estimated that the average person will take up about 2 square feet of floor space while standing. This varies somewhat depending on the size of the person.
What form of potential energy does a person blowing a vuvuzela have?
chemical potential energy
Does a person standing still on a hill have potential energy and how?
yes, because there is a potential that he'll move on that hill and his energy is stored while standing.
What energy transformation happens when a person lifts a chair?
You are using chemical energy produced in your muscles to lift a weight against gravity, which means the weight gains gravitational potential energy
What kind of energy exists when a person jumps down a building?
his potential energy from standing on the building turns to kenetic energy when he is falling
What sport involves transforming gravitational potential energy into elastic energy?
This can happen in many sports. One common example is anything that involves a ball - of the type that can bounce when they fall. In such a ball, when it falls down, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy; later, when it touches the ground, the kinetic energy is converted into elastic energy. When the ball bounces back, part of this elastic energy (typically, most of it) is converted back into kinetic energy.
What is the science term for potential?
It is the stored energy. Like for example, a person was standing still. The answer is basically the energy inside matter that is staying still.
When a person climbs stairs what form of energy is being converted into gravitational potential energy?
Energy stored in your muscles, which ultimately comes from the food you eat.
A person is standing with a drawn bow and arrow. He is aiming it at a bull's-eye. What type of energy is being described?
The energy in the drawn bow is elastic energy, a type of potential energy.
A 60.0 kg person walks from the ground floor to the roof of a 74.8 m tall building. How much gravitational potential energy does this person have at the top of the building?
Just use the formula for gravitational potential energy:GPE = mgh In the units used, gravity is approximately 9.8 newton/kilogram.
What is the potential energy of a person with a mass of 65kg standing in a hill 235m height?
Please use the formula for gravitational energy:PGE = mgh (mass x gravity x height)Near Earth, the value for "gravity" is approximately 9.8 (newton/kilogram).
What is the relationship between the gravitational potential energy of an object and the work done on the object by the gravitational force?
I would have described them as different types of energy, so don't see what the relationship could be. If you hit a ball high in the air, it will have elastic energy stored in it from the initial blow, and it will also gain gravitational energy as it rises. The gravitational energy arises because the ball was given kinetic energy when it was hit, the elastic energy because it was deformed, but I don't think they then interact.

How does gravitational potential energy it transformed into electrical energy at Niagara Falls?
It is as simple as a windmill. Water pushes panels and just like a flashlight with power generated by a lever, it creates energy for much of the northeast. The person who started this is Nicola Tesla.
