An 75-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical

elevation increases 540 m. Determine the change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system.

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is  \Delta  PE  = 396900 \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the hiker is  m = 75 \ kg

    The time  taken is  T  =  2 \ hr =  2 *  3600 =  7200 \ s

    The  vertical elevation after time  T is  H = 540 \ m

   

The  change  in gravitational potential is  mathematically represented as

         \Delta  PE  =  mgH

here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value  g =  9.8 \ m/s^2  

     substituting values  

        \Delta  PE  =  75  *  9.8  *  540

       \Delta  PE  = 396900 \ J

If one is missing the opsin which detects wavelengths of approximately 560 nm what color would they be unable to see?
Licemer1 [7]

As per the question the wavelength of color of light is given as 560 nm.

We are asked to determine the color corresponding to this wavelength.

The visible spectrum corresponds to the wavelength range of 380 nm to 750 nm.

The visible spectrum contains seven colors of light.

The green light corresponds to the wavelength range of 495 nm to 570 nm.

Hence the correct answer to this question will be green light.

How can you use the position-time graphs for two in-line skaters to determine if and when one in-line skater will pass the other
Jet001 [13]

Explanation:

Position-time graphs measure/express the position of a skater over time relative to the start or finish of the race (depends on how it is used). Note: are the skaters in line vertically or horizontally? Like is one directly behind the other or are they next to each other?

If the two skaters are in line horizontally with each other, then their position will be the same relative to the start or finish of the race. This means if one passes the other one, the position would be different for all times after they pass. On the graph, it would look like one single line at the start (as position is same) which splits into 2 (representing the new difference in position due to 1 passing the other.

If the two skaters are in line vertically, their lines on the graph will appear parallel to each other (assuming they are going same speed) because the position is changing at the same rate, one is just reaching the same point after the other. If the skater behind overtakes the one in front. The lines on the graph will cross and continue either in parallel but with the other line on top to represent the moment where their position is the same right before they pass and after, where the second skater is now in front.

Hope this helped!
