Respuesta :

The mass of the bike along with the cyclist is m = 75 kg.

The rider starts from rest and the height is h = 0 m.

Also, acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s^2

The formula to find potential energy is

[tex]P\mathrm{}E\text{. = mgh}[/tex]

Substituting the values, the potential energy will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} P\mathrm{}E\text{. = 75}\times9.8\times0 \\ =0\text{ J} \end{gathered}[/tex]
