Answer:

P = 1470980 J

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of the hiker is 79 kg

It is required to find the potential energy associated with a 79-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington, 1900 m above sea level.

It is given by :

P=mgh\\\\P=79\times 9.8\times 1900\\\\P=1470980\ J

So, the potential energy of 1470980 J is associated with a hiker.

How much energy will a stock tank heater rated at 1790 Watts use in a 24 hour period? 1. 1790 × 24 × 3600 Joules 2. 1790 × 24 ×
Rashid [163]
<h2>Option 1 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Power of heater, P = 1790 W

Time used, t = 24 hours = 24 x 60 x 60 = 24 x 3600 s

We have the equation

               \texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}

We need to find energy,

Substituting

                 \texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\1790=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{24\times 3600}

                  Energy = 1790 x 24 x 3600 J

Option 1 is the correct answer.

A moving object is in equilibrium. Which best describes the motion of the object if no forces change?
Alchen [17]
If the object is in equilibrium that means that the sum of the forces on it is zero and the net force is zero. If none of the forces changes then the object continues in constant uniform motion. That means constant speed in a straight line.
