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

Can we use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame​
miv72 [106K]

In theory, yes. The 2 problems are the materials used for clinical thermometers, & the temperature capacity of the clinical thermometer. If anything, change the material & extend the measurement threshold. At that point, it wouldn´t be used for clinical garbage anymore.

Name three situations in which force is created. describe the cause of the force in each situation
Darina [25.2K]
One situation in which force is created is when an object is moving and a force is created to stop that movement. Second situation is when an object is moving circularly and a force is created to move it towards the middle of the circle. The third situation is when a force is created that goes in the same direction as an object that is in movement.

Como surgiu a capoeira?
xz_007 [3.2K]
La capoeira se desarrolló en Brasil, derivada de las tradiciones traídas a través del Océano Atlántico por africanos esclavizados y alimentadas por el ardiente deseo de libertad. Pronto se practicó ampliamente en las plantaciones como un medio para romper los lazos de la esclavitud, tanto física como mentalmente.
