Lance Armstrong bikes at a constant speed up the Col d’Izoard, a famous mountain pass. Assume his teammates do such a good job r

iding ahead of him that he can draft behind them and encounter no air resistance. This climb is described as "beyond classification" in terms of its difficulty. The climb is 14.1 km long at a 7.3º average grade. Assume that the combined mass of Lance and his bicycle is 83 kilograms. What is the magnitude of the work he does against the force of gravity? show work

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

W = mgh

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

h = 14.1 sin7.3 km

here we have

h = 1.79 km

now from above equation

W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)

W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J

so work done will be given by above value

How does the north pole of a magnet respond to the poles of other magnets?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A magnet has a magnetic field around it which originates at the north pole and enters through the south pole.

In a magnet, like poles will repel each other and unlike poles will attract.

  • The north pole of one magnet will repel another north pole of another magnet.
  • North pole of one magnet will attract the south pole of another magnet.
  • This is the law of attraction and repulsion of magnet.

4. How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles.

Explanation:

As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed.

A projectile is launched horizontally from a height of 8.0 m. The projectile travels 6.5 m before hitting the ground.
Effectus [21]
Time it takes the projectile to hit the ground after being thrown up:

√h/1/2a

√8/(.5)(9.81)

√8/4.905

√1.630988787

= 1.277101714

= 1. 28

hope this helps :)
