Answer:

599 meters is the answer rounded to the nearest whole number and 599.489795918 meters is the complete answer

Explanation:

to find gravitational potential energy you multiply mass x acceleration due to gravity (always 9.8 on earth) x hight

since we know the gravitational potential energy and want to find out the hight, we take the gravitational potential energy (470,000) and divide it by the product of acceleration due to gravity x mass (9.8 x 80)

so how high the hiker climbed is equal to 470,000 divided by (9.8 x 80)

hight = 470,000 / (9.8 x 80)

hight = 470,000 / 784

hight = 599.489795918 meters

as for rounding, if the decimal is less than 5 you round "down" and keep the current whole number, if the decimal is 5 or greater you round "up" and add 1 to get your new number

Why is it important that home circuits are wired with parallel circuits?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Parallel circuits are used in homes because the loads can be operated independently of each other. That means that you can have an electrical item turned on and running without needing to have all of the other loads on and running as well.

Explain what causes acid rain to form and its negative effects on living and nonliving things.
OLga [1]
What causes it to form: <span>Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain. Human activities, power plants, and exhaust from vehicles all are causes.</span>
Affects on living things-
Acid rain can kill trees
It can affect plant growth patterns
Toxins can kill animals
Nonliving things- 
It can decay building materials and paints
it breaks down rocks
