Explanation:
Coefficient of kinetic friction is the resistive force that opposes the motion of a body as it moves and is in contact with another body.
It is found by dividing the frictional force by the normal force.
- Friction is a force that opposes motion.
- Static friction is for bodies that are not in motion
- Kinetic friction is for moving bodies.
Answer:
The potential energy of the hiker is
.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the hiker, m = 61 kg
Height above sea level, h = 1900 m
We need to find the potential energy associated with a 61-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington. The potential energy is given by :

g is the acceleration due to gravity

So, the potential energy of the hiker is
. Hence, this is the required solution.
So, the work was done by that hot air-balloon is <u>30,000 J or 30 kJ</u>.
<h3>Introduction</h3>
Hi ! In this question, I will help you. <u>Work is the amount of force exerted to cause an object to move a certain distance from its starting point</u>. In physics, the amount of work will be proportional to the increase in force and increase in displacement. Amount of work can be calculated by this equation :

With the following condition :
- W = work (J)
- F = force (N)
- s = shift or displacement (m)
Now, the s (displacement) can be written as ∆h (altitude change) because the object move to vertical line. The formula can also be changed to:

With the following condition :
- W = work (J)
- F = force (N)
= change of altitude (m)
If an object has mass, then the object will also be affected by gravity. Always remember that F = m × g. So that :


With the following condition :
- W = work (J)
- m = mass of the object (kg)
- g = acceleration of the gravity (m/s²)
= change of altitude (m)
<h3>Problem Solving</h3>
We know that :
- F = force = 100 N
= change of altitude 300 m
What was asked :
Step by step :



<h3>Conclusion</h3>
So, the work was done by that hot air-balloon is 30,000 J or 30 kJ.

The kilogram is the SI unit of mass and it is the almost universally used standard mass unit. The associated SI unit of force and weight is the Newton, with 1 kilogram weighing 9.8 Newtons under standard conditions on the Earth's surface.
