Explanation Given: Mass of human, m = 60 kg Energy that human can absorb, E = 200 J Calculation: As a 60 kg person is standing on a height to jump. As that time, it’s K.E = 0 Potential energy is present i.e. m g h And when he jumps and comes to the ground, at that time, P . E = 0 Only kinetic energy is present, i.e., 1 2 m v 2 . According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system is conserved. m g h = 1 2 m v 2 And in question, it is given that the maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is 200 J
